 : /s/ > /ʃ/, but /s/ from /ts/ was '''not''' affected (suggesting that deaffrication likely happened later), cf. ''fuist'' "you were" (Maur. /fuʃt/, Num. /fui̯st/), ''Asea'' "Asia" (Maur. /ˈaʃa/, Num. /ˈasja/).

-Not strictly a part of Mauritanian palatalization (as it was triggered by /i/ and not /j/), but also limited to (not all) Mauritanian dialects is the analogical palatalization of the last stem consonant in fifth conjugation 1SG and 3PL endings due to the /i/ of the other forms. Dialects, including the standard written language, with this trait therefore have e.g. ''capsiur, capsirit ... capsiuntur'' (I am got, you are got ... they are got) as /ˈkapʃur ˈkapʃirit ˈkapʃuntur/, while those without this trait only have a palatalized consonant in the forms other than 1SG and 3PL, like /ˈkapsur ˈkapʃirit ˈkapsuntur/ – accordingly, forms such as ''capsur'' and ''capsuntur'' are found in informal writings of speakers of those dialects, or in literature to specifically identify one of those.
