*The voiceless stops are aspirated alophonically in the onset of stressed syllables.
*The nasal consonant /n/ assimilates to the place of articulation of the following stop, so that /nk/ or /nqʷ/ for example become /ŋk/ and /ɴʷqʷ/.  Before fricatives, /n/ is deleted, and the proceeding vowel is lengthened and nasalised.  These processes apply between word boundries as well.  Word final /n/ as part of case and personal markers is elided before a word starting with a vowel, fricative, approximate, or before a [[w:Pausa|pausa]].

*The phoneme /ɣ/ has the greatest variance of all Aeranid phonemes, varying between dialects and even between individual speakers from [ɰ~ɣ~ʁ~ʀ~ɢ~ʕ~ɦ~Ø].  It often served as a [[w:Shibboleth|shibboleth]] for discerning one's origins or social circles.
