Sound Changes

Vowels

Initial Vowel Shifts

• /a/ and /o/ merge into /a/

Vowel Mutations

• /[a~ɔ]+i/ yields /ɛ/ ⟨ä⟩
• /a+u/ yields /ɔ/ ⟨å⟩
• /e+i/ yields /i/ (?)
• /[e~ɛ]+u/ yields /jø/
• /[e~i?]+a/ yields /jɛ/
• /o+i/ yields /œ/ ⟨ö⟩ (?) (does o even come up now?)
• /ɔ+i/ yields /jœ/
• /u+i/ yields /ü/ (?) ⟨y⟩? (or ju?)
• /u+a/ yields /o/ (< /wɔ/)

Consonants

Palatalisation

• Voiced consonants including nasals and fricatives+ j > j
  • Montānea > Montä(ja)
  • Snaigu > Njö > Jö
  • Tria > T[rja] > T[jä] > Tjä (this word evolved irregularly though)
• Unvoiced consonants + j > tj
  • Tri/Trai > Tjä

Voicing

• Before palatalisation, all fricatives undergo voicing. Afterwards, they either devoice again or collapse into a plosive, like with /ð/ > /d/.
