Omves

Consonants
Fricatives are voiced before vowels, e.g. the 'v' in 'Omves'. [+fricative] > [+voice] / _V.

Consonants are romanized as their IPA symbols, except for  ʃ ('sh', when voiced 'zh'),  ç ('c', when voiced 'jh'),  ɾ ('r'),  ɺ ('lr'), and  ʔ (' ' ').

Vowels
Front vowels become rounded before bilabial consonants, unless it is preceded by an velar consonant. [+front] > [+rounded] / _{mpb} ! {kg}_. Close-mid vowels become near-close in unstressed syllables. e [-stressed] > ɪ and o [-stressed] > ʊ.

These changes are not shown in the romanization.

Phonotactics
(C)V(C) structure. Words have a tendency to start with a vowel that is followed by two consonants. For example, 'omv' in 'Omves'.

Stress
Stress lands on the first syllable of the main morpheme.
