/a/ appears as [ä] in all positions except before /k/ and /p/, where it is [ɐ]. In medial position it is in occasional free variation with [æ].

/ɔ/ appears as [ɔ] in all positions except before nasals, where it is [ɒ]. Word-finally it is in free variation with [o].

/u/ is reduced to labialization ([ʷ]) between /p t s k ng/ and stressed /i/ or /ɪ/.

4. Realized as labial before a vowel sequence /uˈi/ or /uˈɪ/ (with stress on the /i/ or /ɪ/): /puˈi/ = [ˈpʷi~ˈbʷi], /suˈi/ = [ˈs̪ʷi], etc.
5. [(m)pᵊ] an option before an obstruent
6. [t̪] only appears word-medially as the second member of a consonant cluster
7. Final [s̪] appears before a following [ɾ, r]
8. Following alveolars, velars, nasals (except /nz/) and laterals
9. Following vowels, bilabials and sibilants (including /nz/)
10. before [n]
11. /k/ is labialized not just before /ui/ and /uɪ/, but before /o/ when that /o/ is followed by /n/ or /n̪/ (unless the nasal is then followed by /e/), or by /nd/ or /nz/ regardless of the next vowel, as in /kon/ 'bag' and /konze/ 'ball' but not /kone/ 'place'.
12. The text says "/k/ occurs in free variation with /ŋ/ following word-initial vowel." It is unclear what this is supposed to mean. The illustrative examples show [k~ɡ] in /ˈpàkám/ [ˈpàkám, ˈpàɡám] 'forked branch' but only [ŋ] in /ˈmòkínè/ [ˈmòŋínè] 'food', neither of which match the wording for free variation with /ŋ/.
13. a "voiceless dental fricative lateral with voiceless grooved dental fricative release"
14. Monosyllables with falling tone are transcribed with low tone in Phillips 1976.
