Componds
In compound words, the phonology and orthography changes:


 * Fricatives and Africates, beside h, use the up glyph in initial position and the down glyph in all other cases (tlá+tsí->tlácí or tsítlá)
 * ń /ŋ/ becomes ñ /ɲ/ inwards
 * Fricatives + l can be pronounced as /ɬ/ inwards
 * plosives are voiced if it's between 2 short vowels (you can use b, d, g and ǵ).
 * If a neutral short vowel happens before another short vowel, both become a long tonal vowel (aá->â, aa->ā, aà->ä)
 * If two non-short vowels are together, a y or w is inserted in between. That depends if the first vowel is e, i (y) or o, u (w). A is kinda neutral, "short a" favors y and "long a" favors w, if the separation has happen before, the before consonant is used. (āwawā vs ayāya) (owuawi).

Pronous
Pronouns are extensively compounded to any word to convey it's case, person and number.
