==Sound changes==
#ph, th, ƛh, kh, qh > resp. aspirates
#First spirantization:
#:qʰ > χ
#:pʰ > f
#Radicalization:
#:q > ʡ
#:χ > ħ
#Assimilation of dentals:
#:ts, ths > ss
#:dz, thz > zz > later z
#:ƛs > ƛʰ
#:ƛz > λ
#Some cluster changes:
#:tk > kt
#:tp, db, kp, gb > tv, dv, kv, gv (should be earlier than PTal?)
#:kt, łt, kþ > xt
#:pþ > ps
#:qt > ħt
#Second spirantization:
#:tʰ > þ
#:kʰ > x
#:ƛʰ > ł
#:ʔC > C[+long]
#C̓ʔ, Ch > Ce usually,
#:mʔ, nʔ, lʔ, rʔ > also mp, nt, lt, rt (especially in function morphemes)
#:mh, nh, lh, rh > also nf, nþ, lþ, rþ
#Loss of laterals (nearly unique to Themsaran?):
#:ƛ > ŧ /ts/
#:ł > þ
#:λ > l, λλ > ld
#:ḽ > ð, ḽḽ > lð
#Rhotacization:
#:z > r / _C[+voiced]
#:dl > rl
#Epenthetic vowels are added:
#:CC[+resonant]# > CyC[+resonant]# and in many functional morphemes.
#w > v (a velarized labiodental approximant)
#ʁ / V_V, _C[+coronal] > v (a Themsarian-only sound change)
#ʁ otherwise > ʕ
#Loss of glottal stop:
#*clitic =ʔ becomes final downstep
#*vowel contractions: (~ denotes *ʔ or *h)
#*''*a~ > ā''
#*''*a~e, *ajV *a~i > ae''
#*''*aj, a~ī > ai''
#*''*a~o, *awV(sometimes), *a~u > ao''
#*''*aw, > au (sometimes)''
#*''*e~C > eaC''
#*''*ej, *ew, *e~ī > ei''
#*''*e~u, *e~ū > ju, jū''
#*''*ēj > ie''
#*''*ē~ > ie (sometimes)''
#*''*i~C > ieC''
#*''*o~C > oaC''
#*''*o~i, oj, u~i, uj > ȳ''
#*''*o~ī > oi''
#*''*ow > ū''
#*''*u~C > uoC''
#*''*u~ī > ui''
#ʕ > ħ
#vv. zz > wv z
#bb, dd, gg > mb, nd, ng
#also qq ħħ > q ħ, lengthening previous vowel
#Loss of word-final radicals:
C[+radical] > a / _#
