/t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/ is an allophone of /t d/ before /ɪ iː/. However, some dialects also shift /c ɟ/ to /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/ in the same way, leading to differing spellings of certain words, like ''ki'''ti'''aap'' (standard) and ''ki'''ci'''aap'' (non-standard), both pronounced [[Help:IPA|[kɪˈt͡ʃaːp]]] and meaning "ketchup". | |||
/r/ is a stressed allophone of /ɾ/, as in ''mḅa'''r'''aang'' [[Help:IPA|[ᵐɓɐˈraːŋ]]] "belongings". In contrast, /ŋʷ/ is an word-medial and unstressed allophone of /ᵑɡʷ/, such as in ''duḍee'''ngw'''e'' [[Help:IPA|[dʊˈɗɛːŋʷe]]] "wooden flute". | |||
