Common Changes

  • unstressed eC > iC and eyC > iyC
  • word-final, short a, e lost in words of 3 or more syllables: negara > negar
  • loss of word-final nasals -n, -m with nasalisation or preceding vowel, creating new ą, ę, į, ų, ɚ and ąą, ęę, įį, ųų
  • loss of word-final -t
  • raising of e > i, ew > iw and ey > iy before i or y in the next syllable
  • loss of y between vowels and contraction of remaining vowels
  • loss of word-final short, non-nasal vowels in words of 3 or more syllables: negani > negan
  • raising of a(a) > ä(ä), u(u) > ü(ü) before i, y in the following syllable
  • lowering of u(u) > new vowel o(o) before a(a), ä(ä), ą(ą) in the next syllable: kukad "he eats" > kokad.
  • unstressed diphthongs become long vowels: aw > oo, ay > ee, ew > oo, ey > ee
  • final-syllable long vowels shortened

Rathmos Changes

  • ə(ə) > e(e), ɚ > a
  • nasals followed by fricatives are lost, leading to compensatory lengthening and nasalisation of preceding vowel: negans > negąąs
  • Cy > CC, except ry
  • g > /ɣ/ in most positions, except ng, gg
  • ts > ss
  • p, t, k > f, þ, h and b, d > v, ð before n, m, l, r
  • a(a) and ay raised to ä(ä), äy except before -n, -m or before a back vowel (a(a), o(o), u(u)) in the next syllable
    • unstressed äC > eC
  • word-final -a lost
  • nasal vowels merge with non-nasal counterparts
  • stressed ä, e, i > äw, ew, iw before -w, -lC, rC
  • changes to diphthongs: ay > ae, aw > ao, äy > äe, äw > äo > ea, ey > ee, ew > eo, iy > ii, iw > iü, uw > uu, uy > uü.
  • k, g, sk palatalised to ch /t͡ʃ/, ȝ /ʝ/, sh /ʃ/ (a) before a front vowel (ä, e, i, ü) or y, or (b) after e, i except when followed by a back vowel: negara > neger > neȝer but neganta > negan
  • i-mutation: a(a) > ä(ä), e(e) > i(i), o(o) > ö(ö), u(u) > ü(ü) before i, y in next syllable
  • word-final -i, -u lost, except after light monosyllable
  • unstressed vowel reduction:
    • medial syllable: a, ä, e lost, i, u lost after heavy syllable, > e after light syllable, oo > o, other long vowels > short
    • final syllable: ä, i > e, uC > oC, oo > u, other long vowels > short
  • medial h lost before vowels and consonants with compensatory lengthening
  • medial f, s > v, z, ss > s

Carrick Changes
