In addition to these vowel qualities, Galatian has a length distinction and a historical aspiration distinction (now only retained epenthetically or in conservative dialects, but still consistently written in the orthography). Orthographic correspondence:

Vowel harmony
Valmoric has limited vowel harmony for bound morphemes: Morphemes subject to harmony which contain an ι, ε, or η will change this to an υ, ο, or ω respectively if the adjacent syllable contains an υ, ου, ο, or ω. Such harmonised vowels are marked with the circumflex: υ̂, ô, ω̂.

The Lord's Prayer
The Galatian version lacks the reference to forgiving sin, based on an omission in an apocryphal Q source translation into Galatian. Most Galatian Christians pray the prayer in Greek.
