+      Low    `/a æ̃/` `{ä ę}`       `/ɑ ɒ̃/` `{a ą}`
+
+Words have vowel harmony in non-nasal vowels between "tense" and "lax". If a
+root contains only nasal vowels, then the harmony defaults to lax. In affixes,
+a vowel that alternates depending on harmony (which is all of them, other than
+nasals) is indicated with a capital letter. The realisation of these vowels is
+based on the root nearest to the affix.
+
+        `{I}`   `{U}`   `{E}`   `{O}`   `{A}`

+ Lax    `{i}`   `{u}`   `{e}`   `{o}`   `{a}`
+
+Before a consonant, nasal vowels can be written as a vowel followed by
+`{m}`/`{n}`/`{ŋ}`. In this case, `{on}`, `{ón}`, etc, are pronounced
+`/ɒ̃/` like `{ą}`.
+
+### Allophony
+
+- Vowels are slightly longer when stressed.
+- `/ɛ e/` are lowered to `/æ/` before a velar (including `[ɫ]`).
+- A `[ʔ]` is inserted into word boundaries with a vowel on both sides.

+     Other    `/w/` `{w}`     `/l ɾ/` `{l r}`     `/j/` `{j}`
+
+The word "glide" refers to `/w j/`, and "liquid" to `/l ɾ ʁ/`.
+
+The sequence `/ŋŋ/` is written `{ng}` (and pronounced `[ŋɡ]`).
+
+### Allophony
+
+- `/l/` is `[ɫ]` anywhere except before one of `/j i/`.
+- `/p t k/` are affricated to `[pf ts kx]` directly before a stressed vowel,
+  and to `[pf tʃ kx]` at the end of a word.
+- `/x/` is pronounced `[χ]` at the end of a word or after a lax vowel.
+- `/b d/` become `[v ð]` word finally if immediately preceded by a vowel.
+- `/ŋ/` becomes `[ɡ]` after another `/ŋ/`, before `/z/` or `/d/`, or when not next to a
+  vowel.
+- `/s z/` become `[ʃ ʒ]` at the end of a word or before a plosive (including the
+  `[ɡ]` coming from `/ŋ/`).
+- `/d/` becomes `[dʒ]` at the end of a word if _not_ directly preceded by a
+  vowel.
+- `/t d s z/` become `[tʃ dʒ ʃ ʒ]` before one of `/j i e/`. The `/j/` is then
+  dropped if there was one.

+
+The `{·}` in [inner cons]{.ebnf-nt} indicates where the syllable boundary is.
+
+
+## Stress
+
+Stress falls on the last syllable of the stem. (In a compound word, the last
+syllable of the last stem.) Inflectional endings do not cause it to move.

+# Verbs
+
+Verbs do not inflect themselves, but the conjugation is reflected on a highly
+fused particle following the main verb. This particle inflects for person,
+gender (in the third person), number, tense, and a distinction between
+perfective/imperfective. The ‘citation form’ of this particle is `{as}`, the
+`!1SG!`;`!PRS!`;`!IMP!` form. The `!3X!` form is used with a group of
+people/objects of multiple genders, as well as for unknown or indefinite
+referents (whether singular or plural), and impersonal sentences such as
+instructions on signs.

+# Nouns & adjectives
+
+
+## Case
+
+Nouns have five cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, and locative.
+The last of these is used only with preposition-type words. As a result of the
+inflectional suffixes, nouns almost always end in a consonant. The only
+exception is words ending in `/ɪ/` or `/i/`, which gain an extra `/j/` before
+the suffixes. The spelling similarly gains a `{–j}`.
+
+Nouns are divided into a few classes. Each class requires the use of a specific
+inflection class of `{as}`, labelled `!A!`, `!B!`, or `!C!`. The conventional
+labels for the classes are:
+
+I.    Sapient `!(A)!` sapients
+II.   Water `!(B)!` bodies of water, and the sky
+III.  Ground `!(A)!` the ground, rocks, metals, chemical elements
+IV.   Artifice `!(C)!` handheld tools, small plastic items, electronics
+V.    Spiritual `!(C)!` gods, the mind & soul, large natural events, language
+VI.   Containers `!(B)!` boxes, pans, bowls, wardrobes, etc;
+      beds, chairs, and other furniture for sitting or lying on
+VII.  Clothing `!(B)!` clothing and carried objects like umbrellas and bags
+VIII. Food `!(C)!` food and drink
+IX.   Animal `!(B)!` animals (including mythical creatures)
+
+(**TODO** zk names for genders)
+
+Not all nouns fall into the class which the labels would suggest, and if none of
+the labels fit then the choice is arbitrary. (As is usual with `!NOM!`–`!ACC!`
+languages, `!NOM!`;`!SG!` is the citation form in dictionaries.) People's names
+are assigned to whichever class they choose.
