Nouns

Genitive case: *-mī (sg), *-mīś (pl)

  • lē̃ti > dä­ät·ə 'man'
    • t > t· due to strong gradation environment
    • ē̃ > ää (creaky voice becomes RTR)
    • chain shift l- > d- > z-
    • r- → Ø
    • ľ- → r-

if a lot of words shaped like tVCC- or wVCC- become homophones then that might be dealt with through compounding and univerbation
