*final consonants are devoiced, intermediary voiced


*a root must contain three consonsonants from distinct groups


vaídz, vidzâ "epic singer" > vēts, vēr


kûn, kúfān "dog" > hūl, hūr
saíkat, siktâ "philosopher" > sēbat, sēbār
bîblira siktí ābūlá > mīlu asēbā ābūlá

diphthongs to monophthongs
iu > y, ui > ȳ
ia > e, ai > ē
ua > o, au > ō
triphthongs to diphthongs
ui-u > ȳu, iu-u > yu, u-ui > uȳ, u-iu > uy
ia-u > eu, ai-u > ēu, u-ia > ue, u-ai > uē
ua-i > oi, au-i > ōi, i-ua > io, i-au > iō
in case of incompatibility, the repeated vowel is lost (EX: ia-i > e, and not ei); also, when a long dipthong is reduced, a central vowel is added (EX: āi > ēa).

=====Voicing (CONSONANT>CONSONANT/0)=====
 
Final consonants are devoiced — e.g. ''ad'' /at/ —; medial ones are voiced — e.g. ata /ada/.


E.g. ''ad'' /at/ (CONSONANT>CONSONANT/0)
=====X=====


E.g. ''atka'' /akka/ (CONSONANT>CONSONANT/CONSONANT)
E.g. ''atka'' /akka/ (CONSONANT>CONSONANT/CONSONANT)

E.g. ''tu'' /lu/ (TONE>CONSONANT/VOWEL)


E.g. ''pá'' /báː/ "you" (TONE>CONSONANT/TONE)


=====Compensatory Lengthening (TONE>CONSONANT/TONE)=====
E.g. āra /arda/, āda /adda/, ā’a /aʔʔa/
(''{{Phonorule|H|Q|V_R}}''): type-2 consonants extend to ''i'', ''u'', ''nd'', ''mb'', ''lb'', and ''rd'' respectively when intervovalic as onset to A-vowels.

=====X=====
E.g. ''pá'' /báː/ "you" (CONSONANT>VOWEL/TONE)
=====Phthongization (VOWEL>VOWEL/0)=====
Monophthongization happens during closed syllables — e.g. ''vaíds'' /véːt͡s/ —, and diphthongization in open syllables compare — e.g. ''tō'' /tau̯/.
diphthongs to monophthongs
iu > y, ui > ȳ
ia > e, ai > ē
ua > o, au > ō
triphthongs to diphthongs
ui-u > ȳu, iu-u > yu, u-ui > uȳ, u-iu > uy
ia-u > eu, ai-u > ēu, u-ia > ue, u-ai > uē
ua-i > oi, au-i > ōi, i-ua > io, i-au > iō
