* Fricatives ''f'', ''th'' and ''s'' are voiceless word-finally and initially, but voiced medially.  
* Fricatives ''f'', ''th'' and ''s'' are voiceless word-finally and initially, but voiced medially.  
* ''h'' only occurs word finally. When a word ends in a consonant + ''h'', the ''h'' is dropped and the preceding vowel lengthens, if possible (e.g. ''marh'' 'horse', ''márau'' 'to the horses'). If the final ''-h'' follows a vowel is disappears, causing the preceding vowel to lengthen (e.g. ''dah'' 'good' (nsg), ''dóu'' 'good' (dsg.)).
* ''h'' has a number of allophonic variants. Word-finally it is /x/. Medially, between vowels it is usually /ɣ/, but before ''j, i'' it is /j/ and between ''u, ú'' or any diphthong ending in ''u'' and a back vowel, it is silent.

Generally speaking, polysyllabic forms follow the same paradigms but do not undergo i- or u-mutation unless there is a following vowel (e.g. ''áratt'' "silver" (a, n.), g.sg. ''áratt'' but n.pl. ''árett''). Polysyllabic forms are also liable to lose the final vowel of the stem when endings are added when the syllable is short and this may obstruct mutations from occurring (e.g. ''dafath'' (a, m.), g.sg. ''dafath'' but n.pl. ''dafthi'').

The vocalic stem classes include stems with either ''j'' or ''v'' in the stem (e.g. ''dan'' 'man', d.sg. ''dænju''; ''mor'' 'ant', d.sg. ''morvi''):
