| Some Philly-style changes:
| |
| *ai > əi / _(voiceless) (after AV)
| |
| *au > əʊ / _(voiceless)
| |
| *ɔʏ > əʏ / _(voiceless)
| |
| *əl > ʊ in unstressed syllables

| ====AW > OZw finals====
| |
| *cluster ending in fricative > breathy tone, cluster lost w/ compensatory lengthening
| |
| *cluster ending in plosive > glottalized tone, cluster lost w/ compensatory lengthening
| |
| *-w results from the first consonant in the final being a labial (unless final is single /-p/)
| |
| *-j results from /ç, ɧ/ as the first consonant
