Stress

Allophony

  • Voiced fricatives [β ð ɣ] become voiced stops [b d g] before [ɾ]
  • [n] assimilate in place of articulation to following consonants [m n ŋ ɴ]
  • [h] become voiced [ɦ] between voiced vowels
  • [ə̥] are assimilated into aspiration after stops [p t k]
  • [ə̥] become [ʔ] word-initially
  • [ə̥] become [ɦ] between vowels
  • [ɾɾ] are realized as [r]
