Depending on the underlying nature of a cluster, various processes may take place either on a phonemic (phoneme alternation) or on a phonetic (surface allophony) level. For example, {{IPA|/t/}} merges with {{IPA|/t͡s/}} on the ''phonemic'' level before {{IPA|/i~j/}} or a plosive or an affricate, but alternates with {{IPA|[ð]}} on the ''phonetic'' level between vowels. | Depending on the underlying nature of a cluster, various processes may take place either on a phonemic (phoneme alternation) or on a phonetic (surface allophony) level.

* A nasal or fricative geminates before a glide, assimilating to and eliding it in the process. | |||
* All plosives alternate phonemically with fricatives or affricates before another plosive or an affricate. | |||
* /h~ʔ/ (and plosives before nasals) is a fricative before vowels/glides and plosives but a glottal stop before nasals and affricates. | |||
* Affricates are fricatives intervocalically, before other plosives or affricates, word-finally and before nasals (which are prestopped). | |||
