/ʎ/ and /w/ are in complementary distribution and allophones of /l/; /ʎ/ appears word-initially while /w/ appears word-finally. /ʎ̥/ is a separate phoneme represented by the digraph ⟨lh⟩, derived from fricative-lateral clusters that were more common in Proto-Ontic; compare Ingdikh '''''lh'''okh'' [[Help:IPA|[ʎ̥ʊx]]] "limb" and [[Minurese]] '''''sḷ'''ofy'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈsɭo.ɸɘ]]] "many-handed; many-legged". | /ʎ/ and /w/ are in complementary distribution and allophones of /l/; /ʎ/ appears word-initially while /w/ appears word-finally. /ʎ̥/ is a separate phoneme represented by the digraph ⟨lh⟩, derived from fricative-lateral clusters that were more common in Proto-Ontic; compare Ingdikh '''''lh'''okh'' [[Help:IPA|[ʎ̥ʊx]]] "limb" and [[Minurese]] '''''sḷ'''ofy'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈsɭo.ɸɘ]]] "many-handed; many-legged". | ||
