I've seen [w] described as a labial velar approximant which seemed to
imply that its point of articulation is only velar, in the same sense
that its corresponding stop, <qu> implying [k] with rounded lips, has
only a velar point of articulation. Labio velar approximant, however,
seems to imply a places of articulation at the lips AND velar region;
i.e., that it has two places of articulation.

Should labial be understood the same way as labio or was the labial I
saw a typo?
