'''Archiphonemes'''<br>
* /J/ is a variable underlying palatal phoneme [j], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
** When [C-] or [Cj(C)], then /J/ is realized as [j]
** When [-C-], then /J/ is realized as [x]
** When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /J/ is realized as [ɟ]
* /H/ is a variable underlying palatal phoneme [h], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
** When [C-], then /H/ is realized as [h]
** When [-C-], then /H/ is realized as [x]
** When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /H/ is realized as [ç]
* /X/ is a variable underlying palatal phoneme [x], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
** When [C-], then /X/ is realized as [x]
** When [-C-], then /X/ is realized as [h]
** When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /X/ is realized as [ç]
<br>
'''Velar Allophones'''<br>
* /K/ is a variable underlying velar phoneme [k], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
* When [C(C)-], then /K/ is realized as [k]
** /kː/ is often realized as [q]
* When [-kC], where [C] is a sonorant or /v/, then [kˠ]~[q]
* When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /K/ is realized as [ɕː]
* /G/ is a variable underlying velar phoneme [g], with various realizations in certain syllablic environments.
* When [-C-], then /G/ is elided
* When [CU/O/A], then /G/ is realized as [w] or [g]
* Word-initial [ɣ-]
* When [CI], then /G/ is realized as [j] or [ɟ]
* Word-initial [ʑ-]
'''/J/ vs /I/'''<br>
/j/ and /i/ form minimal pairs in diphthongs. e.g. /ai̯/ vs. /aj/, or /jo/ vs. /i̯o/. Additionally, /j/ can function by itself as a syllable in place of /i/.
<br>
'''Labial Allophones'''<br>
* When [CC-], /ɸ/ and /β/ are realized as [f] and [v]
* When [Cv], where [C] is a non-labial voiceless obstruent, then [v] is realized as [f]
* When [Cʰv], /v/ is realized as [f]
* When /hv/, /h/ assimilates to /v/ and the impossible consonant cluster is reduced to a more manageable [ɸ] or [β]
<br>
'''[ʍ] Allophones'''<br>
[ʍ] is a very unstable consonant, and tends to morph into a labial fricative.
* when [#ʍ-], /ʍ/ > [ʍ]
* when [ʍI], then /ʍ/ > /ɸ/ or /β/, depending on the voicing of the obstruent
<br>
'''Voiceless Sonorants'''<br>
* Voiced Sonorants become devoiced before voiceless aspirate obstruents.
** e.g. khraz /kʰrɑ/ is realized phonemically as [kʰər̥ɑ] or [kr̥ɑ]
