Sound changes across the Lexicon

There were different eras of lexification:

The initial simple era

Lexifying phonology:

• p t s c k
• m n g
• w l y

The era where aspirates attempted to invade the language

• ph th kh are reanalysed as sequences of (p,t,k)-h, the misinterpreted (p,t,k) "prefix" is dropped leaving just /h/
• m n ng are tentatively borrowed as b d g

As for nasal finals...

They all ended up as -n (-m,-n) or Ṽ (-ng)
