 The Italic base of Proto-Tungric (known as Pre-Proto-Tungric, or PPT for short) had the following features:
-*Lacked merger of Proto-Italic /θ, xʷ, f/ (each of which instead merged with its voiced counterpart, as did /x/).
+*PPT lacked the merger of Proto-Italic /θ, xʷ, f/ that occurred in all attested Italic languages. Instead, each of these merged with its voiced counterpart, as did /x/.
-*The voicing of fricatives likely differed from what is usually reconstructed for Proto-Italic. For PPT, the fricatives besides /s/ are reconstructed as voiced in all positions (i.e. /ð, ɣʷ, β, ɣ/), while /s/ is reconstructed as unvoiced in most positions.

+*PPT stress rules are constructed to have been similar to those of Classical Latin, however:
 **Word-final syllables took stress if the syllable was super-heavy - i.e. a long vowel or diphthong followed by a coda consonant, or a long diphthong.
-**Few vowel contractions had taken place (those that had taken place included *''-eje-'' > *''-ē-'').
+**Few vowel contractions had taken place at the PPT stage (those that had taken place included *''-eje-'' > *''-ē-'').
 **Some words had analogical or sporadic vowel changes and/or stress shifts.
-*Lacked Classical Latin vowel weakenings.
+*PPT lacked Classical Latin vowel weakenings.
