* Any phoneme followed by itself; if a conflict occurs, one is dropped for consonants. Vowel handling under this rule differs between dialects, though usually either they combine to a long vowel, or the latter vowel is given hard attack. | * Any phoneme followed by itself; if a conflict occurs, one is dropped for consonants.

* Two nasal consonants; if a conflict occurs, then one of the nasals is dropped; generally speaking, /{{IPA|m ɲ}}/ are more likely to be kept than /{{IPA|n ŋ}}/. This has resulted in some fossilized /ɲ/ formerly in the coda, such as ''{{term|tén}}'' sometimes turning into ''{{term|tényekó|tény}}''.

This has resulted in some fossilized /ɲ/ formerly in the coda, such as ''{{term|tén}}'' sometimes turning into ''{{term|tényekó|tény}}''. However, in many dialects, the nasal that is kept is geminated. This is not necessarily phonemic, but may still be reflected in orthography, such as writing ''{{term|zanma}}'' as {{roka-text|ZmM}} rather than {{roka-text|ZnM}}. | ||
* The sequences /{{IPA|ji, wu, wo, uw, ow, uo, and ou}}/ are not allowed unless there is a syllabic break between them. If needed, the semivowel is dropped or becomes /{{IPA|v}}/. | * The sequences /{{IPA|ji, wu, wo, uw, ow, uo, and ou}}/ are not allowed unless there is a syllabic break between them.
