|   /ɧm/

| rowspan=2| The sound /ɧ/ was opted for over /x/ or /h/ when appearing before nasals due to the tendency for a word-initial '''''h''''' changing to /ɧ/, carrying over to the consonant cluster rule. Originally, the sounds which were replaced by the affricates beginning with /ɧ/ were unvoiced nasals or liquids, but surprisingly, these changes still occurred, even though both groups had had unvoiced liquids and nasals as a phonological feature. Subsequently, voiced sonorants were phased out of the language completely.
