## Allophony

/n/ = [N] before velars

l and r are almost allophones. In the ancient form of the language,
they contrasted, but all intervocalic /l/ phonemes have changed to /r/,
and all Cr clusters (where C is any consonant) have changed to Cl. All final /r/ have changed to /l/.

Thus, /l/ changes to /r/ (or vice versa) in some words when they're inflected. E.g. dal "pause, wait, rest" -> daro "wait!"

## Vowel affection (umlaut)

The vowel <a> changes to <ä> (pronounced /e/) when there is
an <i> following it in the word.

daro "wait!" -> därin "I wait"
