 ===Allophony===
-Several predictable allophonic processes occur in Vindamal.
+Vindamal exhibits a number of predictable allophonic processes, particularly involving consonant realization in specific phonetic environments. These variations are systematic and are not reflected in the orthography.
-* The sequence <hv> is realized as [hw] or [ʍ], particularly in word-initial position. This reflects a historical development similar to that found in early Germanic languages.
+* The phoneme /v/ is variably realized as the approximant [w] when it occurs before a vowel
-* The letter <n> is realized as [ŋ] before the velar plosives <k> and <g>
+* The alveolar nasal /n/ is realized as the velar nasal [ŋ] before velar stops
+* The orthographic sequence <hv> is realized phonetically as [hw] or [ʍ], particularly in word-initial position. This cluster is pronounced as a unit despite being represented by two letters.
+* Word-final /g/ may be realized variably as [g] or a glottal stop [ʔ]. This variation does not affect meaning and is not reflected in spelling.
