 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.)).
+* ''h'' has a number of allophonic variants. Word-finally it is /x/. Medially, between vowels it is usually /ɣ/, but before ''j, i'' it is /j/ and between ''u, ú'' or any diphthong ending in ''u'' and a back vowel, it is silent.
