====Lenition====
When a word ending in a voiceless stop or fricative has a vowel-initial suffix added, the final consonant becomes a voiced fricative. This is known as lenition.


Not all such words undergo lenition. Whether a word undergoes lenition or not is predictable from its orthography.
===Historical phonology===
 
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
The table below summarizes the consonants that can undergo lenition when they occur at the end of a word. Note that this table specifically indicates how consonants are written word-finally and when lenited. The same phonemes may be written differently in other environments.

'''Notes:'''
 
¹ The consonant is dropped, leading to predictable vowel simplifications (see the next section below).
 
====Vowel simplifications====
When vowels are brought into hiatus, due to the addition of a vowel-initial suffix to a vowel-final word or the lenition of /k/ or /x/, the hiatus is simplified according to the following rules.
