Sound Changes

Before stress:

a: > aa

e > ai

e: > aai

o > au

o: > aau

aa > a3


On or after stress:

a: > 3a

e: > ɛ

i: > ji

o: > ɔ

u: > wu


Anywhere:

3h > 3

_h3 > 0

3C > C3

33 > 3

? > C[+v][=POA][+stop] / # _ {V,R}

R > C[+v][=POA][+stop] / R _ R


The symbol "3" becomes the location of the pitch accent. Syllables before the accent are low tone, syllables including and after the accent are high tone. Depending on where in a diphthong the accent falls, diphthongs may also be rising tone, shown with a caron.
