(Pretending the above two happened in reverse order, which works.)

Across word boundaries, ɑ + a vowel become a mid-low vowel of the appropriate place of articulation:

['tɑ o'di] > [t‿ɔˈdi]

Stress becomes final. Final stress impacts phonological evolution later on

Hey, can we reduce our words to single syllables or, better yet, single phones before moving on?

Frankly seems pointless seing the end result if we just reduce it into nothing everytime. Also would be helpful if we put the initial word next to the end result.

[wɪljɑmel'mɑz mɑrjɑwɑldɑzsʊ'nʊz]

h > ŋ > m

Unstressed vowels lose length before consonant clusters.
Primary stressed and secondary stressed (antidachtylic) in open syllables gain length.
