			*iki » yaka ~ yacka ~ yaga ~ yathka (aika?)

			yack-illa » eckélla

			yack-aitha » eckaytha / eckaya

			yack-aitha-illa » eckithella

			Intervocalic rhoticisation = th > dh and l/t > r (unless doubled); p and k tend to start off as B and initially but as p/b/w and ck/k intervocalically. Peripheral consonants are thus "tense".

			wa/nga » o when destressed?

			Stress occurs on heavy syllables.

			Th can occasionally be lenited to Y word initially. cf. Thura-Yura languages.

===Consonants===
* p ~ b (word medially, may become phonemically β but realised as all sorts of things?)
* t ~ d (word medially, may become -ð- (th?))
* th (þ/θ?) (word medially, may become -ð-) - may be pronounced word initially as a dental plosive.
* k ~ g (word medially generally becomes g)
* l m n r (? Angloësque?) y w (dunno about h but probably not).

reusing iski word (fish) > iki/ika + -(i)(l)la for "at" + anglicisation –> "eckella" (as though it were a South Australian place name).

(ithki > iki through assimilation).

Ikilla = place of the fish.

-itha = plural marker? (since I have a thing for that recently)

ikithilla = place of the fishes (probably redundant, plural marker maybe will only be used for emphasis?)

Final vowels probably elided depending on the speaker ala many Australian aboriginal languages. Thus ikitha > /egeð/.
