Allophony
Labial obstruents or nasals [m mb b ...] persistently assimilate in labiodentality to a following labial obstruent or nasal.
Stops [mb p d ...] become nasals [m m n ...] before a nasal. Voiceless stops become voiced.
Front vowels [i y] become non-front [ɨ ʉ] after an uvular obstruent or nasal.
Stops [mb p d ...] become nasals [m m n ...] after a nasal. Voiceless stops become voiced.
Voiced vowels [i ɨ u ...] become creaky-voiced [ḭ ɨ̰ ṵ ...] before a glottal stop.
Voiceless stops [p p̪ k ...] become ejective [pʼ p̪ʼ kʼ ...] before a non-nasal glottalised phone except for a non-nasal vowel or approximant.
Non-nasal consonants other than prenasalised stops or fricatives [p t q ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiced stop, ejective consonants other than [ʔ] become non-ejective; [ʔ] are deleted.
Vowels [i ɨ u ...] become nasal [ĩ ɨ̃ ũ ...] before a nasal.
Non-ejective voiceless stops [p p̪ k ...] persistently become ejective [pʼ p̪ʼ kʼ ...] before a glottal stop.
Non-ejective voiceless stops [p p̪ k ...] persistently become ejective [pʼ p̪ʼ kʼ ...] before a glottal stop.
Non-front tense vowels [ɨ ʉ u ...] become front [i y y ...] before a non-retroflexed alveolar consonant.
Alveolar stops [nd t tʼ d] become non-affricate and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent.
Non-sibilant coronal alveolar nasals [n] become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent.
Non-ejective non-glottal fricative non-prenasalised stops [p b̪ k ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding non-nasal consonant other than approximant.
Labial obstruents or nasals other than [ɸ f], i.e. [m ɱb b ...], persistently assimilate in dorsality and uvularity and palatalisation and whether palatal or palatalised velar to a following obstruent or nasal and become non-velar or uvular word-finally.
