*Vowel shifts and umlaut: ''swïx'' "kin" <- suku, ''ïpšn'' "I studied" <- Estonian õppisin, ''söwr'' "society" ~ seura

*Begadkefat spirantization: t tt -> θ t etc.

==Morphology==

The Finnic consonant gradation isn't reflected in Kesmmi nominal morphology. Some nouns derive from Proto-Finnic nominatives while others derive from genitive or oblique cases (and there are sometimes doublets).

* käsy /kæzʲ/ "hand" (nominative)

* käsyn /kæzʲn/ (genitive)

* käsyθ /kæzʲθ/ (partitive)

* käsyṣ /kæzʲʂ/ (illative, from the Proto-Finnic translative)

* käsynnë /kæzʲnnə/ (inessive, from the Proto-Finnic essive)

* käsyd /kæzʲd/ (elative, from the Proto-Finnic exessive)

* käsylë /kæzʲlə/ (dative)

* käsyl /kæzʲl/ (adessive)

* käsyr̠ /kæzʲr̠/ (ablative)

* käsyt /kæzʲt/ (abessive)

* käsygo /kæzʲɡo/ (comitative)
