===Initial Consonant Mutation===
1) In Chenconian there are three types of initial consonant mutation (which despite the name also affects vowels): lenition, eclipsis and provection. The base form of a consonant is referred to as the radical in the context of mutation. The various mutations are listed in the table below:

|/vowel/ ||[vowel] ||[n + vowel]|| [k +vowel]
|/vowel/ ||[vowel] ||[n + vowel]|| [k +vowel]
|}
|}
2) Lenited initial consonants are indicated in the orthography by the prefixed letter ⟨u⟩ or ⟨g⟩.
3) Eclipsed initial consonants and vowels are indicated in the orthography by the prefixed letter ⟨x⟩ or ⟨n⟩.
4) Provected initial consonants and vowels are indicated in the orthography by the prefixed letter ⟨n⟩ or ⟨k⟩.
