Interestingly, free variation ''tékuhasa'' dialects rarely apply both that sound change and disyllabic reduction on the same sequence - that is, [sː] is more common than [θː].

===''Íkon''===
''Íkon'' (literally "i-ing") is a phenomenon where the vowel /i/, as well as the diphthongs /ja jo ju/, causes the preceding consonant to palatalize. In most dialects, this depends on either what the preceding consonant is, what the vowel is, or both.
In most dialects with ''íkon'', only the /jV/ glides will palatalize a consonant unless that consonant is a sibilant. These are marked with a "~". In these dialects, usually the /j/ is either shortened or completely absent, in favor of palatalization, and depending on the consonant. For example: in Pahang Rokadong, the /j/ is shortened [ʲ] when the preceding consonant is a plosive (including /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ ɾ/) or labial fricative, and absorbed when the preceding consonant is anything else. While the plosives and fricative /tʃ d͡ʒ ʃ/ are already considered palatal, they may still palatalize further, to [ɕ tɕ dʑ] (also written [tʃʲ d͡ʒʲ ʃʲ]), in some dialects.
In some dialects, such as Ahotélah Rokadong, /jV/ and /i/ both cause ''íkon'', and the effect is more pronounced. For example: in Ahotélah Rokadong, /j/ is absorbed for all non-labial consonants.
