====Nasal harmony====
As many languages from South america, Qut has nasal harmony. When there is a nasal consonant or vowel in a word, it triggers the nasalization of other consonants and vowels.
The nasalization occurs from the beginning to the end of the. So sounds before the nasal trigger (consonant or vowel) aren't affected. It triggers all vowels and consonants, until the words end or when there is a p, t, k, q, ', s or r ; so all sounds after one of these consonants are note affected. when nasalization occurs, the vowels simply became their nasal equivalent, and b, d, g, became m, n, ñ:
*/'''m'''ikeke'''n'''i/ ['''mĩ'''keke'''nĩ'''] (three)
*ñoaba > '''ñõãmã''' ([[Qut#nouns|house of]])
