C: a consonant
R: an approximant; i.e. one of /β̞ l w/
V: a vowel

Allophony

Non-high vowels [e o ɔ ...] become nasal [ẽ õ ɔ̃ ...] before a nasal.
Front vowels [i e ɛ ...] become central [ɨ ɘ ɜ ...] before a velar semivowel.
Voiced vowels and semivowels [w ɘ ɜ ...] become creaky-voiced [ ɘ̰ ɜ̰ ...] before a glottal stop. [w] are deleted.
Non-nasal consonants [p k s ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding consonant other than an approximant. After a voiced stop or nasal, [ʔ h] are deleted; [s] become [ɾ].
Before an alveolar approximant lateral, obstruent sibilants become non-sibilant coronal alveolar obstruent laterals; [t d] become [t͡ɬ d͡ɮ].
Stops [p d t͡ɬ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following non-nasal consonant other than a resonant and become voiceless word-finally.
Voiceless stops [p t t͡ɬ ...] persistently become aspirated [pʰ tʰ t͡ɬʰ ...] before a glottal fricative.
Nasals [m n] assimilate in resonancy and nasality to a preceding unrounded non-nasal consonant.
Nasals [m n] become non-nasal resonants [β̞ ɾ] after a non-nasal resonant except a semivowel.
Non-nasal consonants [pʰ g s ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following consonant other than a resonant. Before a voiced stop or nasal, aspirated consonants become unaspirated; fricatives become resonants; [ʔ] are deleted.
Nasals [m n] persistently become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal.
Unaspirated obstruents [p k t͡s ...] assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent. After a voiced stop, obstruents other than stops become resonants.
Voiceless stops [pʰ t t͡ɬʰ ...] assimilate in aspiration to a preceding consonant other than a resonant.
Mid vowels [e o ɜ ...] become high [i u ɪ̈ ...] before a nasal. Nasal vowels become non-nasal.
Alveolar voiced consonants other than [l], i.e. [n d d͡z ...], become non-nasal approximant laterals [l l l ...] after an alveolar approximant.
Unaspirated voiceless stops [p t t͡ɬ ...] persistently become ejective [pʼ tʼ t͡ɬʼ ...] after a non-nasal glottalised phone except a vowel.
