*[ɛ] and [ɔ] are unstressed allophones of /ɪ/ or /a/ and /ʊ/ or /a/ respectively
*[ɛ] and [ɔ] are unstressed allophones of /ɪ/ or /a/ and /ʊ/ or /a/ respectively
*Epenthetic [ə] is placed between voiceless consonants and /h/ or /x̠/, and between aspirated consonants and non-nasal consonants; in standard Knrawi an exception is /hC/ clusters
*Epenthetic [ə] is placed between
**voiceless consonants and /h/ or /x̠/
***In standard Knrawi an exception is /hC/ and /x̠h/ clusters
**aspirated consonants and non-nasal consonants
**C₁CC₁, #CC₁, and C₁C# clusters with the C₁ being less sonorous than C (not including syllabic consonants)


The conditions in which unstressed /a/ becomes [ɛ] or [ɔ] varies by region; in standard Knrawi [ɛ] is the realization adjacent to coronal and glottal consonants or when the previous vowel is [ɔ], and [ɔ] is the realization otherwise.
