/n/ assimilates to /p/ and is realized as /m/.
/à/ is realized as /àh/ before a consonant followed by a vowel.
Unstressed /ë/ is elided; the /m/ of the verb root assimilates to the remaining /t/ and is realized as /n/.
/ë/ is inserted as a transition sound between /h/ and /m/; this /m/ is elided before /n/.
The first person plural suffix /-nan/ is realized as /-na/ in final position.
