====Palatalization====
*/θ s/ palatalize to /sʲ/
*/ð z/ palatalize to /zʲ/
*/ŋ k g x ɣ/ palatalize to /ɲ̄ tɕ dʑ ɕ ʑ/
 
===Vowels===
The spelling to the left is the "hard" vowel, and the spelling to the right indicates its "soft" counterpart. An exception occurs after retroflexes and radicals, where the spellings '''i, ī, u, ū, o, ō, a, ē, ā, ai, au''' are used.
