Sã/Phonological Changes

=Consonants=

Final
The process C:>C occurs earlier than the vowel affections, which themselves occur before the vowel changes, i.e. changes occur in the order C:>C, CV>CV, V>V. This means that te>tse can become te>tsa assuming the next syllable has an [a] in it or tia>tsa. This makes the [ts] segment phonemic, as is the same with several other conditioned sound changes.
