Sound changes from Proto-Finnic
- Initial v becomes p, as in pïḍ "stream" <- virta
- Medial l becomes alveolar retracted s̠ in native vocab, as in kas̠ "fish" <- kala
- Vowel shifts and umlaut: swïx "kin" <- suku, ïpšn "I studied" <- Estonian õppisin, söwr "society" ~ seura
- Begadkefat spirantization: t tt -> θ t etc.
