In the Ouřefian accent, '''r''' is always a tap [ɾ]. In the Lo'edjeuan accent, '''r''' can be a voiced trill. | In the Ouřefian accent, '''r''' is always a tap [ɾ]. In the Lo'edjeuan accent, '''r''' can be a voiced trill. | ||
In the Ouřefian accent, '''ř''' is realized as a voiceless trill [r̥] in voiceless environments (word-finally and adjacent to a voiceless consonant). In the Lo'edjeuan accent, '''ř''' is always voiceless [r̥]. In dialects, '''ř''' is variously pronounced like the Czech ''ř'', [ʐ], [ʂ], [ʒ], [ʃ], or [ð], or merges with '''r'''. | In the Ouřefian accent, '''ř''' is realized as a voiceless trill [r̥] in voiceless environments (word-finally and adjacent to a voiceless consonant).

Like Nabbrzé, Ouřefr shows debuccalization of Proto-Nabŋaic *g to '''h''' /ʕ/; compare Dutch and Czech. Proto-Nabŋaic *b has shifted to '''v''' while it stayed as /b/ in Nabbrzé. /p b g/ are loan phonemes. | Like Nabbrzé, Ouřefr shows debuccalization of Proto-Nabŋaic *g to '''h''' /ʕ/; compare Dutch and Czech.
