Forms consonant clusters that are resolved as follows: | |||
nasal + obstruent > nasal assimilates to place of articulation of obstruent | |||
obstruent clusters assimilate to voicing of final obstruent | |||
ṙ > r / in clusters | |||
N + r/ř/l/ł > stop homorganic to nasal is inserted (but ň + r > ndr; n/ň + l > ŋgl; n/ň + ł > ŋgł) | |||
N + ľ > ňǵ | |||
affricate + stop > affricate becomes corresponding appropriately voiced fricative | |||
etc | |||
Transcription differences without (significant) sound change: | |||
ɣ > h /ɦ ~ ʁ/ | |||
Cʰ > C | |||
