You will note that there are several combinations which appear to have identical pronunciation. This is due to sound changes during the creolization of the Imperial language which have created mergers. For example, the '''kh''' in '''''[[Contionary: ukha#Modern Standard Imperial|ukha]]''''' ‘six’ and the '''kk''' in '''''[[Contionary: thrakku#Modern Standard Imperial|thrakku]]''''' ‘like that’ are both pronounced like the '''ksh''' in '''''[[Contionary: thraksha#Modern Standard Imperial|thraksha]]''''' ‘like this’. However, in Old Imperial, they were pronounced [ˈuːkʰɑ], [tʰrɑkˈkũ], and [tʰrɑkˈtʃɑ], respectively.
