*Initial ''w-'' preserved (as ''v-'') except before ''o''.
**New ''w'' also became ''v'' (e.g. '''βαίνα''' ''véna'' "hyena" < '''ουαίνα''' ''wéna'' < '''ύαινα''' ''(h)úaina''; '''τβω''' ''tvo'' "two" < '''τουω''' ''two'' < '''τύω''' ''túō'').
**New ''w'' also became ''v'', or ''f'' after voiceless consonants (e.g. '''βαίνα''' ''véna'' "hyena" < '''ουαίνα''' ''wéna'' < '''ύαινα''' ''(h)úaina''; '''τφω''' ''tfo'' "two" < '''τουω''' ''two'' < '''τύω''' ''túō'').

*In obstruent clusters (except for ''s'' + consonant), the second consonant becomes a fricative.
*In obstruent clusters (except for ''s'' + consonant), the second consonant becomes a fricative.
**/ʝ/ and /ç/ (from fricatization of original /i, e/ before other vowels) behaves as an obstruent in this situation, causing a preceding fricative to become a stop. They also become postalveolar after dental stops.
**Earlier /ʝ/ and /ç/ (from fricatization of original /i, e/ before other vowels) behaves as an obstruent in this situation, causing a preceding fricative to become a stop. They also become postalveolar after dental stops.
**This also applies to /f/ and /v/ from fricatization of original /u/ before a vowel.
*Assimilation of ''s'' to following consonant in consonant clusters (except word-initially, where metathesis occurs instead).

**/ç/ (from fricatization of original /i, e/ after /s/ and before other vowels) behaves as an obstruent in this situation, becoming a stop /c/. /sc/ then assimilates to /c/ intervocalically, while metathesizing to /kʃ/ initially.

**/f/ (from fricatization of original /u/ in the above positions) similarly becomes a stop /p/, which merges with /s/ intervocalically and metathesizes to /ps/ initially.
