Fortition is realized when fricatives turn into stops, stops become geminated and/or voiced if unvoiced. For example, the combination of the past tense marker plus the genitive triggers voiced fortition and syncope with ''kilay'' "heart, interior" in the phrase (Tashunka's transcription) ''Junyé:ne glai haglev man ukanyen'' "I will enter your house and ruin you", i.e. ''junyé:ne glái << jula-<u>nai</u>-<u>na</u> kilay''. If the future marker ''-nai-'' did not appear, fortition would not be triggered. Instead, the result will be ''Julana <u>ki</u>lai haglev man ukanyen'' "I am entering your house to ruin you." | Fortition is realized when fricatives turn into stops, stops become geminated and/or voiced if unvoiced.

Gemination[[Vadi#Footnotes |<sup>2</sup>]] occurs among a restricted set of consonants, particularly /k/, /n/, /l/ and /t/. Consonantal mutations occur, with evidence of both lenition and fortition. Metathesis also occurs with certain consonantal combinations, traceable to Minhast influence. | |||
