====dissimilatory processes====

*Semivowel exchange:

:A /w/ after /o/ will change to /j/, whilst /j/ after /i/ becomes /w/.

:A /w/ after /o/ will change to /j/, whilst /j/ after /i/ becomes /w/. E.g. underlying |sʰwo-wt-| → /sʰwojt/ → [sʰwojta] 'meat'

*Semivowel dissimilation

: final /w/ becomes /kʰ/ when followed by another word containing /w/ in the onset. E.g. /ʔjow ʕwan/ → [ʔjokʰ‿ʕwan]

: final /w/ becomes [kʰ] when followed by another word containing /w/ in the onset. E.g. /ʔjow ʕwan/ → [ʔjokʰ‿ʕwan]

===aphaeresis===

vowels occurring in positions with little stress might be reduced or deleted, e.g. /sanatakkʰa/ → [sənatakkʰa] / [snatakkʰa]

===verbs===

do not inflect for subject

e.g. ''ʾikh ħwanta natakkha'' 'I hold that great valley' (Lit. 'that great valley hold')

====suffix====

=====y-suffix=====

The y-affix represents the conflation of the categories: non-present, non-past, unrealised, counterfactual, atelic, which we denote {{sc|unreal}}.

The affix will be infixed when it is so possible (glide position not occupied), else it will realise as -ay

e.g. ''takʰ'' + ''-y'' > ''taykʰ-'' but ''sawʕ'' + ''y'' > ''sawʕay''

====prefix verb extension====

=====s-prefix=====

=====h-prefix=====

=====m-prefix=====
