Editing Consonant mutation (section)

=== Dholuo ===

The [[Dholuo language]] (one of the [[Luo languages]]) shows alternations between voiced and voiceless states of the final consonant of a noun stem.<ref>{{cite book |last=Stafford |first=R. |title=The Luo language |location=Nairobi |publisher=Longmans |year=1967}}</ref> In the [[construct state]] (the form that means 'hill of', 'stick of', etc.) the voicing of the final consonant is switched from the absolute state. (There are also often [[apophony|vowel alternations]] that are independent of consonant mutation.)
