diV, deV > zV
niV, neV, miV, meV > nyV
riV, reV > zhV /ž/
ll > y

In clusters l becomes /r/: Cl > Cr e.g. clarus > kharor.
Latin rd > l, e.g. ardore > alar.
It will be seen that the consonant changes are essentially an outline of the changes between Old and Middle Persian with an occasional Old Iranian or Romance feature rearing its head. They are of course subject to future refinement.
