| Lenition: Initials "lenite" as in Irish orthography, but null initials get an ''h-''. Initial '''n, l, r, sp, st, sc, sm, sn, sl, sr''' are lenited to '''nh, lh, rh, sph, sth, sch, smh, snh, slh, srh'''.
| |
|
| |
| Eclipsis: Initials "eclipse" as in Irish orthography, but ''f, s'' (if not in one of ''sp-, st-, sc-'') eclipse to ''mhf, nhs''.
| |
|
| |
| ''fh, sh, xh'' are often pronounced [v, z, ɮ] word-medially.
