==== Conflation of /l/ and /ɮ/ ====


Some speakers conflate /l/ and /ɮ/ into a single phoneme.  The realisation of this phoneme varies, and different conditions provoking different allophones.  In Velles this phoneme is realised as [l] word initially and before voiced obstruents, and [ɬ] word finally and before a voiceless obstruent whilst in Hodén it is [l] word initially, [ɮ] between vowels and before voiced obstruents, and [ɬ] word finally and before a voiceless obstruent, and in Os Selum it is [ɬ] initially, finally, and before a voiceless obstruent, and [l] elsewhere.
