Phonological laws

  1. *ʔ=ʔ >
  2. *mʔ, *nʔ, *lʔ, *rʔ > mp, nt, lt, rt; *mh, *nh, *lh, *rh > mf, nth, lth, rth
  3. nr > ndr, lr > ldr
  4. *=ʔ > word-final tonic syllable
  5. coronal obstruent + sibilanti > sibilantisibilanti
  6. CC[+resonant]{C, #} > CyC[+resonant]{C, #}
    • Cyı{C, #} > Ci{C, #}
  1. CC[-resonant]C > CiC[-resonant]C
  2. ıy[ː] > i[ː]
  3. z > r / V_C[-semivowel, +voiced, ~{/z/}]
  4. h > [ː~] / _C[+fricative]
  5. > [ː~] / _C
  6. c > ch / _{d, t, ŧ}
  7. *tk, *ck *tkʰ/ckʰ > cht, chŧ, cth
  8. *q
    • > ħ / _{t, ŧ}
    • > v / _C[+voiced +obstruent]
    • > ħ except...
    • > v / _C[+voiced] or _V[+close]
