==Consonant gradation==
===Consonant gradation===
Tizian employs grammatical consonant gradation (namely alternation between unaspirated (commonly called "viscous") and aspirated ("dilute") consonants, of which the latter is marked with an acute accent (historical high tone) after the affected consonant) in nouns, adjectives and verbs. For most consonants this is straightforward; viscous plosives/affricates are unaspirated whereas dilute plosives/affricates are aspirated, and there are viscous/dilute resonants as well (l ↔ ɬ, r ↔ r̥, m ↔ m̥, n ↔ n̥, j ↔ ɧ, w ↔ ʍ). If a cluster contains non-alternating consonants, the alternation coming from the following vowel/suffix is not blocked.
