The Dilba consonants are arranged depending on the number of possible mutation. As mentioned above, the first group are the root consonants, which have two possible mutations. It turns out that the first kind of mutation changes stops to fricatives, the second to nasals. | The Dilba consonants are arranged depending on the number of possible mutation. As mentioned above, the first group are the root consonants, which have two possible mutations. It turns out that the first kind of mutation changes stops to fricatives, the second to nasals. Voiceless stops were formerly mutated to voiceless nasals, which got later in free variation to [h] (as in [ʔihˈʨ<sup><small>h</small></sup>iliħ]). | ||
