 *The voicing of fricatives in PPT likely differed from what is usually reconstructed for Proto-Italic. In PPT, the fricatives besides /s/ are reconstructed as voiced in all positions (i.e. /ð, ɣʷ, β, ɣ/), while /s/ is reconstructed as unvoiced in most positions.
 *PPT stress rules are constructed to have been similar to those of Classical Latin, however:
-**Word-final syllables took stress if the syllable was super-heavy - i.e. a long vowel or diphthong followed by a coda consonant, or a long diphthong. However, a final ''*-s'' did not cause a preceding long vowel to receive stress unless preceded by another consonant.

 **Few vowel contractions had taken place at the PPT stage (note that *''-eje-'' > *''-ē-'' did take place).
 **Some words had analogical or sporadic vowel changes and/or stress shifts.
