Notes:
# usually grammatical voiced consonants can only be found in Komi and Russian loanwords. Otherwise they alter with respective voiced fricatives.
# the distinction was lost in the XIXth century, but is preserved in some transitional dialects to North Vaand.
# there are only qualitative consonant alterations, the quantitative gradation was lost in almost all the nouns, but preserves in verbs.
# the gramatical status of a consonant gradation in Hirtya is disputed. It may actually be explaned via assimilation of consonant clusters.
# the ''-kup'' suffix does not act like a real case in Vaand.
# obsolete. Some of these "negative" verbs have different meanings from their "positive" counterparts.
# the word order in Carpathian is free, however SOV for short sentences and SVO for long ones are the most common word orders.
