Note that /ç ʝ/ are usually affricated as [c͡ç ɟ͡ʝ] word-initially - as for example in ''gjalyn'' "language" /ʝaɮɯn/ [ɟ͡ʝæ̯ɑɮɯn]. That means that in this position the distinction between /ç/ and /c͡ç/ is neutralized - c.f. ''hjezla'' "woman" /çɛzɮa/ [c͡çe̯ɛːɮɑ], ''kjivŋ'' "seed" /c͡çʊɪ̯ŋ/ [c͡çʊɪ̯ŋ]. | Note that /ç ʝ/ are usually affricated as [c͡ç ɟ͡ʝ] word-initially - as for example in ''gjalyn'' "language" /ʝaɮɯn/ [ɟ͡ʝæ̯ɑɮɯn].

As seen in the previous example (''hjezla''), /z/ and /s/ disappear and lengthen the vowel when before either /ɮ/ or /ɬ/ - however, when word-initially, this does not happen and both consonants are pronounced, e.g. in ''zlab'' "tree" /zɮab/ [zɮɑb]. | |||
