===Mutations===
Thumaca has no mutation; instead, formerly feminine nouns often begin in an aspirated consonant. (cf. Eevo)
===Nouns===
Nouns only have two states (absolute and construct) and two numbers (singular and plural).  The usual affixes are:
*plural absolute: ''-r'' or ''-er''
*singular construct: ''-eth''
*plural construct: ''-eph''


e.g. ''cıther'' 'flower', ''cıthrer'' 'flowers'; ''chıfṇa'' 'woman', ''chıfṇar'' 'women'.

*'''s sj/stj/skj h''' /s ɧ h/
*'''r l -d j''' /ɾ l ð j/


===Verbs===
[w] is an allophone of hard /v/ after consonants.
Tumacan verbs have two tenses (nonpast and past) and two aspects (imperfective and perfective). The imperfective-perfective distinction is characterized by allomorphy inherited from [[Old Eevo]]. As in Slavic languages, the perfective form is often derived by adding a prefix, which causes the verb to take the conjunct form. Most Tumacan verbs thus have two principal parts: imperfective and perfective.


An example of the aspect allomorphy: ''bongi'' 'to tell (imperfective)', ''sipngi'' 'to tell (perfective)'.
/t d tʰ s z n/ are dental(ized).


The old subject/TAM suffixes have been lost and tense is marked by prefixes.
===Vowels===
Anbirese has 7 vowel phonemes. ''eu'' /ɨ/ may be treated as a hard counterpart of ''i'' /i/: ''mi ni pi ti ki bi di gi fi vi'' are read as ''mji nji pji tji kji bji dji gji fji vji''. ''si zi li'' are an exception: they're pronounced [ɕi ʑi li].
