C₁: a consonant
V: a vowel
C₂: an unrounded consonant (i.e. not /kʷ w w̰/) other than /t͡s̻/

Allophony

Obstruents [p k t͡s̻ ...] become voiced [b g d͡z̻ ...] before a non-nasal voiced consonant except an approximant.
Stops [p d̻ kʷ ...] persistently become glottalised [pʼ d̰̻ kʼʷ ...] after a non-nasal glottalised phone except a non-nasal creaky-voiced vowel or approximant.
Nasals [m m̰ n̻ n̰̻] persistently become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent.
Consonants [m b̰ ʔ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding consonant other than an approximant. After a voiceless consonant, approximants become obstruents or nasals; [l̰̻ w̰] become [ɬ̻ xʷ].
[z̻] persistently become [l̻] after an alveolar approximant.
Non-ejective voiced vowels and non-glottal stop voiced consonants other than fricatives [m d̻ u ...] persistently become creaky-voiced [m̰ d̰̻ ṵ ...] before a creaky-voiced consonant.
Non-ejective voiced vowels and non-glottal stop voiced consonants [m g i ...] persistently become creaky-voiced [m̰ g̰ ḭ ...] before a creaky-voiced consonant.
[z̰̻] persistently become [d͡z̰̻].
Non-sibilant coronal alveolar stops or nasals [n̥̻ n̻ tʼ̻ ...] are persistently deleted between a stop or nasal and an obstruent.
Non-pharyngeal unrounded consonants [m̥ ŋ ʔ ...] become front [mʲ̥ ɲ ʔʲ ...] after a front high vowel. Alveolar obstruents or nasals become alveopalatal; non-sibilant coronal stops become affricate sibilants; approximants become non-lateral non-coronal palatal.
Non-pharyngeal unrounded consonants other than palatal consonants [m̥ ŋ̥ t͡s̻ ...] assimilate in palatalisation to a following consonant and become non-front word-finally. Before a front consonant, alveolar obstruents or nasals become alveopalatal; non-sibilant coronal stops become affricate sibilants; approximants become non-lateral non-coronal palatal.
Short non-glottalised non-glottal fricative voiceless obstruents or nasals [m̥ ŋ̥ʷ t͡ɕ ...] become voiced [m ŋʷ d͡ʑ ...] between a voiced phone and a voiced phone.
Consonants [m̥ ŋ̥ʷ t͡ʃ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following consonant other than an approximant. Before a voiceless consonant, approximants become obstruents or nasals; [l̰̻ w̰] become [ɬ̻ xʷ].
Obstruents [p gʷ ɬ̻ ...] assimilate in glottalisation to a following non-nasal consonant other than an approximant. Before a glottalised consonant other than an approximant, fricative laterals become stops.
[t̻ tʼ̻ d̻ d̰̻ t͡s̻ t͡sʼ̻ d͡z̻ d͡z̰̻ s̻ sʼ̻ z̻ z̰̻ ʃ ʃʼ ʒ ʒ̰ ɕ ɕʼ ʑ ʑ̰] assimilate in sibilancy to a following coronal fricative. Before a fricative lateral, palatoalveolar fricatives become sibilants; obstruents other than stops become stops. Before an obstruent sibilant other than a stop, non-affricate stops become affricates.
