The obstruents /p t k tʰ kʰ f θ x/ are lenited to [b d g dʰ gʰ v ð ɣ] after a vowel and after voiced sounds (including lenited obstruents, and except /ɾ/). This is called ''ʔankadö'' in Netagin.

Morphologically, sequences /rC/ often turn into geminates, due to historical assimilation.

The Classical Netagin noun system is typical of "old" Talman languages: nouns, which have gender, inflect for number and state; verbs take both subject and object affixes and display changes according to their syntactic environment.
