*/pʰ/ was a marginal phoneme in Classical Meskangela, it became more common in the Western dialects and disappeared in Southern Meskangela.
*/ɥ/ was a separate phoneme in Old Meskangela and had remained distinct from /j/ at least by the early classical period. In dialects with metaphony it likely survived longer, resulting in the rounding of preceding vowels.
