| Fortition, Lenition

* Fortition by past tense marker ''-hai''. The Širkattarnaft character <gu> signifies fortition of the first consonant of the next word. The character <wa> in ''ku-wa-r-zi'' signifies that <ku> should be pronounced /ko/. The litigants' representation of /o/ alternates wildly, so other possible renditions are ''ku-'u-wa-r-zi'', ''ka-wa-'u-r-zi'', or adding the character <'a> to the preceding word followed by <ku>, e.g. ''gu-'a ku-r-zi'', or even combining the former strategy with the insertion of the <wa> character, e.g. ''gu-'a ku-wa-r-zi''

* Voiced Fortition by past tense marker ''-hai''. The Širkattarnaft character <gu> signifies fortition of the first consonant of the next word. The character <wa> in ''ku-wa-r-zi'' signifies that <ku> should be pronounced /ko/. The litigants' representation of /o/ alternates wildly, so other possible renditions are ''ku-'u-wa-r-zi'', ''ka-wa-'u-r-zi'', or adding the character <'a> to the preceding word followed by <ku>, e.g. ''gu-'a ku-r-zi'', or even combining the former strategy with the insertion of the <wa> character, e.g. ''gu-'a ku-wa-r-zi''.

* Lenition by emphatic clitic ''=hen'', when preceded by a verb of motion, encodes motion towards semantic goal NPs, although exceptions exist.
