Naidda SCs

The list, now in its nth revision, is still incurably messy. But my notes and .sc file are way worse, to the point I'm not sure I haven't missed a minor change or two here. Also beware chronicity: the first three sections should be taken as running roughly concurrently (this creates no conflict), with the final section taking place afterwards.


1. medial
in this case "medial" means that there's at least one vowel later in the word

mb nd ŋg arrow v ɾ ɲ / medially
mp nt ŋk ŋkw arrow mv nʒ ɲ ɲ / medially
b d g arrow v ɾ j / V_V
p t k arrow b d ʔ / V_V
p t k arrow v ʒ j / in medial clusters, except after s
ts arrow ʃ / medially
w bw mbw kw arrow 0 vw mw gw / medially
g arrow j / d_
iV uV arrow jV wV / _
sj dj tj lj rj arrow ʃ dʒ tʃ ʎ ʒ / _
p t k tʃ arrow b d g dʒ / V_V
b d g gw dʒ arrow p t k kw tʃ / s_
gw > w


2. initial

mb nd ŋg arrow m n ŋ / #_
mp nt ŋk arrow p t k / #_
ts arrow tʃ / #_
bw mbw arrow v mw / #_
ŋ arrow ɲ / #_
V > 0 / #_sC

3. final

pm tn kŋ tsn arrow ʔm= ʔn= ʔŋ= ʔn= / _#
bm dn gŋ arrow m n ŋ / _#
[+obstruent] arrow 0 / _#


4. everywhere

stress regularizes to 1st syllable

i e a o u ai au arrow e ɛ a o o i u / in open syllables when not nasalized (in NT)
i e a o u ai au arrow ɪ ɪ ə o u i ɒ / in closed syllables or nasalized (in NT)

ə arrow ɒ / stressed
a ɪ ɒ arrow ə / unstressed
u arrow o / _#

V arrow 0 / if 2nd syllable in a 3+ syllable word, most of the time, unless stressed

ŋw arrow w / _
r g ŋ arrow ʒ ʒ ɲ / _[j i I e] or [i j]_
s arrow ʔ / V_V and V_[+nasal]
ŋ arrow n / except finally
C: V: arrow C V / _

j arrow i / V_
l arrow 0 / _[r s w]

r > ɾ / except intervocalic
