Notes | |||
* Fricatives ''f'', ''th'' and ''s'' are voiceless word-finally and initially, but voiced medially. | |||
* ''h'' only occurs word finally. When a word ends in a consonant + ''h'', the ''h'' is dropped and the preceding vowel lengthens, if possible (e.g. ''marh'' 'horse', ''márau'' 'to the horses'). If the final ''-h'' follows a vowel is disappears, causing the preceding vowel to lengthen (e.g. ''dah'' 'good' (nsg), ''dóu'' 'good' (dsg.)). | |||
