Many of the idiosyncrasies of Finian have to do with the resulting development of these newly produced stops. Generally, these stops undergo fricativization resulting in the voiced fricatives /β/ and /ɣ/. Some speakers though, appear to have replaced /β/ with /v/ as in /' | Many of the idiosyncrasies of Finian have to do with the resulting development of these newly produced stops. Generally, these stops undergo fricativization resulting in the voiced fricatives /β/ and /ɣ/. Some speakers though, appear to have replaced /β/ with /v/ as in /'valar/ ('flower') attested from inscriptions (there rendered as {{smallcaps|uualar}}). | ||
One relatively strange change is the change of this new-found /d/ to /l/ in the beginning of words. Although seemingly strange, it is not unparalleled with a similar development in Latin, cf. Latin ''lingua'' and Irish ''teanga'' with their reconstructed Proto-Indo-European ancestor '''*dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s'''. | One relatively strange change is the change of this new-found /d/ to /l/ in the beginning of words.
