Radical affectation of vowels, applies to the whole word

muthajaa (Old Style)
mutăhjā (New Style)
‘tomato garden; (slang) collective farm’

Surprise! Both our language communities got conquered. They impose spellings more like their own. Back vowels front following alveolars or palatals ['tæː.jæm 'tyɸ_ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æː.jæm 'nis] Tägiäm tuf ag näi megi ägiäm nis Voiceless vowels delete, taking a following voiceless fricative with them if...

Voiceless vowel converts to secondary articulation

['mu.tˀja:]
muthajaa
‘tomato garden’

*CCV sequences devoice the geminate and following vowel

['mu.tå.jo.a]
mbgurragjodda
‘tomato garden’
