Old Katäfalsen had the additional phoneme {{IPA|/ħ/}}, which has disappeared in Modern Katäfalsen but has left still observable effects. We already know that the sequences {{IPA|/ɑj/}}, {{IPA|/ɑw/}}, {{IPA|/ɑːj/}} and {{IPA|/ɑːw/}} yield diphthongs. Moreover, whenever one of the phonemes {{IPA|/j/}}, {{IPA|/w/}} and {{IPA|/ħ/}} are syllable codae, they melt into the preceding vowel and cause the mutations summarised in the following table: | Old Katäfalsen had the additional phoneme {{IPA|/ħ/}}, which has disappeared in Modern Katäfalsen but has left still observable effects.
