Henaudute sound changes

This page has the current set [β] of sound changes from Dele to Henaudute. There should be everything necessary here for those who want a Hena root that isn't already represented. (Well, everything except semantic drift...) They are roughly in chronological order. I may have left things out, so just let me know.

Pitch accent - the initial syllable of the root takes the pitch accent.

BUNU > *búnu

YESEP > *jésep

Aidan's reversal - Dele CVCVC root becomes CVCCV (reversal in protolang, analogized to all cases)

BAYAN > *bájna

YESEP > *jéspe

{h, ʔ} > 0

HOQO > *óo

LOQOR > *lóʔro > *lóro

s > h / {#, V}_V;

Syllabic consonants - M= N= L= R= > am an al/la ar/ra.

Bizarre syllabic consonant outcomes uncertain.

Sandhi (persistent changes)

These arrive out of compounding or inflection.

Labials and velars assimilate for voice and aspiration with a following dental stop. (e.g. pt, bd, phth, kt, gd, khth.)

A dental stop becomes [s] before another dental stop.

Any other combination of stops deletes the first stop.

Nasals assimilate for place. Nasals assimilate to [l m r]. (ll, mm, rrh)

N and N-stop combinations before S tend to disappear and lengthen the previous vowel.

RS goes to ῤῥ.
