I'm starting to think we're just going in circles with this one.
I-mutation.
['jo.lə 'sɛi̯ lɛm'i.lə 'ɑ.ŋu 'ɛ.jə]
Loss of diacritics after spelling changes to accommodate i-mutation.
Yola sei lemila añu eya.
Schwas drop
['jo.l 'sɛi̯ lɛm'i.l 'ɑ.ŋu 'ɛ.j]
Rather than write this people decide to write the now unpronounced schwas at the end of every word
Yola seia lemila añua eya.
