/f/ > /∅/ when marginal (except when next to /u/) | |||
/v/ > /∅/ when marginal (except when next to /u/) | |||
Laws of elision: | |||
Syncope: in a word with three syllables or more, the middle unstressed syllable is lost (except if its sonority value is higher than its antecedant) | |||
EX: datasyú > dasyl | |||
Apocape: in a word with three syllables or more, the initial unstressed syllable is lost (except if its sonority value is higher than its posterior) | |||
EX: apâla > pāl | |||

EX: avâla > vāl | |||
Laws of epenthesis: | |||
Prothesis: in a word with two or just one syllable, if there is an initial consonant cluster, a vowel (depending on the nature of the consonant) is added. | |||
EX: bûl (*bbûl) > uvvūl | |||
Anaptyxis: in a word with two or just one syllable, if there is a middle consonant cluster, the vowel /a/ is added. | |||
EX: 'atlya > 'atalya | |||
Paragoge: in a word with two or just one syllable, if there is a final consonant cluster, a vowel (depending on the nature of the consonant). | |||
EX: palk > palsil | |||

dadasa > dasa | |||
Compensatory lengthening | |||
bûl (*bbûl) > *uvvūl > ūvūl | |||
gal (*gall) > *galla > gāla | |||
Metathesis: glides only where the stress is | |||
