  • reduced: ə ɨ ʉ ă ĭ ŭ

Consonants:

    • p b t d h tʃ dʒ k g q (p b t d s č j c g q) -> b v d ð z dʒ ʒ g ɣ ɴ (b v d dh z j ž g gh l)
  • ejectives and geminates (from creaky voice) become fricatives: p’ t’ tɬ’ tʃ’ k’ q’ h -> f θ ɬ ʃ x ħ s f th š š ch ħ s)
  • fricatives: s ʃ h
  • others: m n ɴ (historical L~historical ʕ) r w y ʔ
