Most coronal consonants are apico-dental. These include /l/, /t̪/, /ð/, and /n/. The lateral and nasal may be in free variation between their dental and alveolar counterparts. Otherwise, /z/, /r/, and /t/ are strictly apico-alveolar. /t/ is sometimes transcribed as /ʈ/ or /ṭ/ to further distinguish it from /t̪/.

The dental nasal will assimilate to the place of articulation of any consonant that directly follows it, or will completely mutate into any consonant that directly precedes it. For example, /ynken/ → /yŋken/ "walls"; and /unəkno/ → /unəkko/ "the wall". This affects spelling as well.
The rhotic /r/ is usually a tap [ɾ], which devoices at the ends of words, or becomes a trill [r] at the beginnings of words, or when doubled.
