- Notes
- Voiceless plosives and affricates are lightly aspirated.
- The medial consonants /ɲˁ, cˤ, ɟˤ, çˤ, ʎˁ, jˤ/ vary by idiolect and may be retroflex or sulcalized retroflex [ɳ, ʈ, ɖ, ʂ, ɭ, ɻ] or pharyngealized pre-velar/"bunched" [ŋ̟ˁ, k̟ˤ, g̟ˤ, x̟ˤ, ʟ̟ˁ, ɰ̟ˤ]. The medial consonants are characterized by a low third formant (F3).

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/3 is topic-prominent, like Japanese and Korean.
Final b, d, ḑ, g are lenited to approximants v, d̆, r, ğ before a prefix beginning with a consonant.
- -nU = plural (nȧx = person, nȧxni = people; med = house, med̆nı = houses; suḑ = woman, surnu = women; ŋꜵ = head > ŋꜵnu = heads)
- -ņ, -ț + -nU > -ņņU, -țņU
- -dOr = topic marker (nȧx = person, nȧxdėr = as for the person; med = house, medder = as for the house; suḑ = woman, suḑḑor = as for the woman, ŋꜵ = head > ŋꜵdor = as for the head)
- -t, -ņ, -ḑ, -ț, -ļ + -dOr > -ttOr, -ņḑOr, -ḑḑOr, -ţţOr, -ļḑOr
