Comments: /p,t,k/ are aspirated in stressed position when not preceded by hi within the same morpheme. /t, d, n, s, l/ are dental... Long vowels are generally diphthongized, particularly the high ones: [ij, yɥ, uw, ʉ̟β]. Lip rounding differs between /y/ ("outrounded") and /u, ʉ̟/ ("inrounded"). Consonants are long after short vowels in stressed position, and short after long vowels. Voiced consonants are frequently devoiced in voiceless context (Engstrand 1990: 43).
