There are four regular allophonic sound changes. They are called ''lasfij'' (lenition), ''korij'' (palatalization), ''usdrezjij'' ("dragging out") and ''inregtij'' ("fixing"). | |||
''Lasfij'' or "lenition" and ''korij'' or "palatalization" are self-explanatory by their names. Lenition happens when a consonant is surrounded by vowels. Palatalization happens after j, ij or ei. Dragging out is a sound change that happens to unvoiced stops at the ends of words, wherein they become their voiced fricatives. Their sound changes will be given below: | |||
