* Clusters of consonant + /χ/ -> Simple deletion of the /χ/ e.g. /pχ/ -> /p/, /sχ/ -> /s/
* Clusters of consonant + /χ/ -> Simple deletion of the /χ/ e.g. /pχ/ -> /p/, /sχ/ -> /s/


e.g. when the word /ˈkχòʔɲátə́/ - "Hkonat" (the name of a city) takes the postposition /fámə́/ - "from", the result is /ˈkòʔɲátə́=fámə́/ - "from Hkonat". Similarly when the verb /ˈʔà̤ːχə̀/ - "to ask a question" takes the hypothetical mood prefix /sfájə́/, the result is /sʷájə́=ˈʔà̤ːχə̀/ - "if he asked".
