In addition to these vowel qualities, Galatian has a length distinction and a historical aspiration distinction (now only retained epenthetically or in conservative dialects, but still consistently written in the orthography). Orthographic correspondence:

Vowel harmony
Valmoric has limited vowel harmony for bound morphemes: Morphemes subject to harmony which contain an ι, ε, or η will change this to an υ, ο, or ω respectively if the adjacent syllable contains an υ, ου, ο, or ω. Such harmonised vowels are marked with the circumflex: υ̂, ô, ω̂.

The Lord's Prayer
The Galatian version lacks the reference to forgiving sin, based on an omission in an apocryphal Q source translation into Galatian. Most Galatian Christians pray the prayer in Greek.

Our Father, which is in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy rule come, thy will be done, In the heaven and in the Earth Give our bread to us today And do not lead us into trial But guide us from evil. Amen. |
