*Vowels lengthen before ŋ: ɑŋ æŋ eŋ iŋ oŋ øŋ uŋ yŋ > ɑːŋ æːŋ eːŋ iːŋ oːŋ øːŋ uːŋ yːŋ

===Retroflex/slender split===
*ɑ merger with ɔ, ɑː merger with aː
*ai ~ iː > iː
*a(ː) ~ ja(ː) > a(ː)
*e ~ je/i > i
*əː ~ eː > eː
*au ~ ay > ɔ(ː)
*o(ː) ~ ø(ː) > o(ː)

*t > tʂ / t
*p > p / pj
*n > ɳ / n
*ɳ > ŋ
*l > l / l or j depending on dialect
*r > l
 
===Tone splits and mergers===
p ph b > p-H ph-H ph-L
*-phar:
**h -p m: 1
**h -p b: 2
**h -p g: 3/1
**l -p m: 4
**l -p b: 5
**l -p g: 6
*+phar:
**h +p m: 5
**h +p b: 4
**h +p g: 6/1
**l +p m: 1
**l +p b: 2
**l +p g: 3
 
long vowel-short vowel merger
 
level tones become falling, rising tones become level
 
there's only one falling tone which becomes level!
 
or creaky! (that's even better)
 
we thus have:
 
high level, high falling
 
mid rising, mid level, mid falling
 
low rising, low level, low falling, low creaky
 
the creakiness gets interpreted as a final -k!
 
final nasals assimilate in POA so it's wjep (low)
 
==Inventory==
===Consonants===
===Vowels===
*i
*a
*y
*u
*ia
*ua
*ja, wa > aa
*final -w, -j
*øi, øu > øy
*i, y > ɨ before retroflexes.
