''“A voiced stop is inserted between a nasal and a following liquid (where there is no morpheme boundary present).”'' | |||
In other words, '''b''' is inserted after '''m''' before '''l''' or '''r''', and '''d''' is inserted after '''n''' in the same environment, as long as the nasal and the following liquid are not separated by a word or morpheme boundary (so, for instance, ''un+rēkīs'' ‘non-toxic’ does not become ''**undrēkīs'' because ''un-'' is a separate morpheme).

*'''ml → mbl''' | |||
*'''mr → mbr''' | |||
*'''nl → ndl''' | |||
*'''nr → ndr''' | |||
