- Intervocalic voiced stops become fricatives;
- Terminal voiced stops devoice and lose implosiveness, if present;
- The exclamatory replaces the ordinary predicative (the practical result is present-tense verbs gain an affix that would be, given changes to date, -/iːr/);
- Fricatives preceding stops fortify;
- Umlaut: front vowels trigger fronting of preceding vowels;
- Contrastive length is lost, and length becomes tied to high pitch in internal syllables; all monosyllables develop rising-falling pitch long vowels;
- [u̯] > [β]
