* Consonants with the dot accent can’t appear before a vowel. When the corresponding sound is before a vowel, it’s written without the accent and an ''i'' next to the consonant. (e.g. maṡ+a=masia).
* ''r'' at the end of a word is pronounced as /ð/.
* The approximants aren’t pronounced correspondingly when in between two consonants.
* When a voiced and voiceless consonant are right next to each other, they both become voiceless.
* ''p t'' are the end of a word pronounced as /p̚ t̚/, respectively.
* ''g'' in between two of the same vowel is silent.
