===Vowel alternations===

====Ablaut====

Chlouvānem morphology uses a system of ablaut alternations in its vowels, most notably for some verbs, for the ablauting declension of nouns (5h), and for many derivations. Every normal ablaut pattern has a base grade (the one given in citation forms), a middle grade, and a strong grade.<br/>

The patterns of regular ablaut are the following:

Line 90:

Line 91:

** ''ei-type inverse ablaut'': base '''ei''' — middle '''i'''

* ''u-type inverse ablaut'': base '''va''' — middle '''u'''

====Lengthening====

Lengthening alternations, which originate in Proto-Lahob, substitute a vowel with its lengthened form. There are many synchronically irregular cases, due to the huge vowel shifts that happened between Proto-Lahob (PLB) and Chlouvānem. Note that PLB *î represents /ɨ/ or /ɨ̯/:

* '''a''' → '''ā'''

** '''a''' → '''ū''' (PLB *o → *ō)

* '''i''' → '''ī'''

** '''i''' → '''æ''' (PLB *ej → *ēj)

** '''i''' → '''au''' (PLB *aî → *āî)

* '''u''' → '''ū'''

* '''e''' → '''ьa''' (PLB *e → *ē)

** '''e''' → '''ai''' (PLB *aj → *āj)

* '''o''' → '''au''' (PLB *aw → *āw)

** '''o''' → '''ei''', but → '''ou''' after '''l''' (PLB *ow → *ōw)

* '''æ''' → '''ьau''' (PLB *ew → *ēw)

* '''oe''' → '''ai''' (PLB *oj → *ōj)

* '''ṛ''' → '''ar'''

===Consonant doubling saṃdhi===

In a few cases of consonant doubling, there are irregular results:

* ''-y y-'' → '''-jñ-'''

* ''-v v-'' → '''-gv-'''

* any doubled voiced stop → homorganic nasal + voiced stop (e.g. ''-b b-'' → ''-mb-'')
