Sound Changes
Legend:  V = vowel | C = consonant | I = {i j} | N = {m n ŋ} | acute/grave = stressed / unstressed | O = open syllable | Ɵ = closed syllable | $ = syllable | Ọ̇ = before or after | A = alveolar | V = velar | Ob = obstruent  | \ = anywhere but

/e o eʲ oʲ/ will equal [ɛ ɔ e o] respectivally --Grammar: Loss of passive. Replaced by intransitive verb and prepositional phrase. Futher explained in Verbs.
