Sound changes
- ph, th, ƛh, kh, qh > resp. aspirates
- First spirantization:
- qʰ > χ
- pʰ > f
- Radicalization:
- q > ʡ
- χ > ħ
- Assimilation of dentals:
- ts, ths > ss
- dz, thz > zz > later z
- ƛs > ƛʰ
- ƛz > λ
- Some cluster changes:
- tk > kt
- tp, db, kp, gb > tv, dv, kv, gv (should be earlier than PTal?)
- kt, łt, kþ > xt
- pþ > ps
- qt > ħt
- Second spirantization:
- tʰ > þ
- kʰ > x
- ƛʰ > ł
- ʔC > C[+long]
- C̓ʔ, Ch > Ce usually,
- mʔ, nʔ, lʔ, rʔ > also mp, nt, lt, rt (especially in function morphemes)
- mh, nh, lh, rh > also nf, nþ, lþ, rþ
- Loss of laterals (nearly unique to Themsaran?):
- ƛ > ŧ /ts/
- ł > þ
- λ > l, λλ > ld
- ḽ > ð, ḽḽ > lð
- Rhotacization:
- z > r / _C[+voiced]
- dl > rl
- Epenthetic vowels are added:
- CC[+resonant]# > CyC[+resonant]# and in many functional morphemes.
- w > v (a velarized labiodental approximant)
- ʁ / V_V, _C[+coronal] > v (a Themsarian-only sound change)
- ʁ otherwise > ʕ
- Loss of glottal stop:
- clitic =ʔ becomes final downstep
- vowel contractions: (~ denotes *ʔ or *h)
- *a~ > ā
- *a~e, *ajV *a~i > ae
- *aj, a~ī > ai
- *a~o, *awV(sometimes), *a~u > ao
- *aw, > au (sometimes)
- *e~C > eaC
- *ej, *ew, *e~ī > ei
- *e~u, *e~ū > ju, jū
- *ēj > ie
- *ē~ > ie (sometimes)
- *i~C > ieC
- *o~C > oaC
- *o~i, oj, u~i, uj > ȳ
- *o~ī > oi
- *ow > ū
- *u~C > uoC
- *u~ī > ui
- ʕ > ħ
- vv. zz > wv z
- bb, dd, gg > mb, nd, ng; also qq ħħ > q ħ, lengthening previous vowel
- Loss of word-final radicals:
C[+radical] > a / _#
