Some reconstruction notes.

Vowels:

  • Erzya *ä → e; *a → o / _j. (ojme voj kojme; but kajge-); in later syllables e ə → e/o per harmony
  • Mokša *ə → ä/a / _# per harmony; ä also after palatals

Consonants:

  • Erzya *š → č / #_
  • Mokša *k → ∅ / F_š, m n r l j v → p t r̥ l̥ ç f / _{p t c č k}
  • ŋ → j/w per harmony, except dialectally in Erzya
