===Nahónda Consonantal Inventory===
At first glance, the Nahónda consonantal inventory appears to have preserved Proto-Nahenic's ejective consonants.  However, upon further examination, the ejectives in Nahónda appear in words originally derived from languages falling within the Siouan Sprachbund; none are found in words reconstructed from the protolanguage.  The original laryngeals and pharyngeals were also largely lost with the exception of /h/.  The rhotic /r/ merged with /l/,likely due to Lakota influence.
