V: a vowel
C₂: one of /ŋ͡m m n ŋ k͡pʰ k͡p pʰ p tʰ t kʰ k s h r w/

Allophony

Back vowels and semivowels [w u ɔ ɔ̃] become central [w̟ ʉ ɞ ɞ̃] before a palatal semivowel.
Short voiced consonants [ŋ͡m g͡b z ...] become voiceless [k͡p k͡p s ...] after a voiceless aspirated consonant. Nasals become non-nasal.
Non-nasal vowels and semivowels [j̥ w̥ u ...] become nasal [j̥̃ w̥̃ ũ ...] after a nasal vowel.
Non-pharyngeal unrounded velar stops or nasals [ŋ͡m k͡pʰ kʰ ...] become palatal [ɲ͡m c͡pʰ cʰ ...] after a front high vowel or a high palatal semivowel.
High semivowels [j̥̃ w̥̃ w̟̥ ...] become mid-high [ẽ̯̥ õ̯̥ ɵ̯̥ ...] after a non-high vowel.
Mid-low vowels [ɛ ɞ ɔ ...] become tense [e ɵ o ...] after a high semivowel.
Consonants other than [c͡pʰ k͡pʰ pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ], i.e. [ɲ͡m ɟ õ̯̥ ...], assimilate in voice to a preceding consonant other than a resonant. After a voiceless consonant other than a resonant, nasals become non-nasal. After a voiced obstruent or nasal, [h] are deleted.
Short voiced vowels [i e ɛ̃ ...] become voiceless [i̥ e̥ ɛ̥̃ ...] before a voiceless glottal fricative.
Front vowels and semivowels [j̥̃ e̯̥ e̥ ...] become central [h h ɘ̥ ...] before a back semivowel. Semivowels become glottal fricatives; [j̥̃ ẽ̯̥] become [h h].
Consonants other than [c͡pʰ k͡pʰ pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ], i.e. [ɲ͡m ɟ õ̯̥ ...], persistently assimilate in voice to a following consonant other than a resonant. Before a voiced obstruent or nasal, [h] are deleted. Before a voiceless consonant other than a resonant, nasals become non-nasal.
[n] persistently become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal. Word-finally, [n] are deleted.
Back vowels and semivowels [w̥̃ o̯̥ o̥ ...] become central [w̟̥̃ ɵ̯̥ ɵ̥ ...] before a front consonant.
Aspirated stops [c͡pʰ pʰ cʰ ...] persistently become unaspirated [c͡p p c ...].
Non-pharyngeal non-dorsal consonants [m b s ...] persistently become front [mʲ bʲ sʲ ...] before a front consonant. [h] become [j̥].
[ɲ͡m ŋ͡m n nʲ ɲ ŋ c͡pʰ c͡p ɟ͡b k͡pʰ k͡p g͡b tʰ t d tʲʰ tʲ dʲ cʰ c ɟ kʰ k g s z sʲ zʲ] persistently assimilate in labiality and labiodentality to a following consonant other than [h]. Before a bilabial stop or nasal, alveolar obstruents or nasals become non-alveolar.
Non-back vowels and non-velarised semivowels [j̥̃ ĩ ɵ̥ ...] assimilate in frontness or palatalisation to a preceding consonant. After a consonant, front semivowels become glottal fricatives; [j̥̃ ẽ̯̥] become [h h]. After a front consonant, low vowels become non-low.
Unaspirated voiceless stops [c͡p p tʲ ...] persistently become aspirated [c͡pʰ pʰ tʲʰ ...] after an aspirated consonant.
Non-pharyngeal unrounded non-front consonants [ŋ͡m pʰ g ...] become front [ɲ͡m pʲʰ ɟ ...] after a front consonant except a semivowel. [h] become [j̥].
Unrounded non-labial consonants [n c j̃ ...] persistently become rounded [nʷ cʷ ɥ̃ ...] before a rounded semivowel.
