That paragraph should read:

The Insular Celtic languages show related fricativisation -m- > -v~-
. (I'm not sure if the nasalisation is attested in Brythonic.) The
Nasalisation tends to be realised on the preceding(?) vowel, but it
doesn't seem unusual for nasalisation associated with a consonant to
be realised on the vowel, and for there to be no nasalised vowels not
associated with such a consonant. A similar phenomenon occurs with
rhinoglottophilia.

P.S. There's a discussion of rhinoglottophilia in the archives.
