Tashunka incorporated Iyyaħmi new findings on Vadi phonology and phonotactics to an alternate orthography focused on the actual phonetic realization <u>after</u> sandhi processes were applied. Tashunka's system has become very popular among Vadists, and now the prevailing practice is to present Tashunka's and Iyyaħmi's transcription side by side, the first for its simplicity and focus on the final phonetic realization in a format familiar to many linguists who utilize the Americanist system, and the latter for illustrating underlying mutation and other sandhi processes. Where mutations occurred, Tashunka makes note of that in his glosses. | Tashunka incorporated Iyyaħmi new findings on Vadi phonology and phonotactics to an alternate orthography focused on the actual phonetic realization <u>after</u> sandhi processes were applied.
