Proto-Subumpamese had the consonants 

             PLAIN                      LABIALIZED

Bilabials:       p   b   m   f   w          pʷ  bʷ  mʷ      w
Alveolars:       t   d   n   s   l          tʷ  dʷ  nʷ   
Postalveolars:   č   ǯ   ň   š   ł

Postvelars:      q           h              qʷ
  1. The schwas ə ə̄ shifted to u ū.
  2. The mid vowels e o rotated to i ə.
  3. The high vowel i shifted to ə if touching a /q/ in either direction.
  4. Primordial f shifted to p .
  5. Primordial w shifted to v.


There still was not an [s], even as an allophone.
