* The coalescence of morpheme-final {{IPA|/ɾ/}} and subsequent morpheme-initial {{IPA|/t/}} or {{IPA|/s/}} to {{IPA|/t͡s/}}:
{{interlinear|indent=3|ti-r-tar-s|c1= → ''ticac''|IND-PL-cut-IMPERF|'he cut them'}}
{{interlinear|indent=3|a:ra-r-tar|c1= → ''a:racar''|PERF-PL-cut|'he has cut them'}}
{{interlinear|indent=3|a:ra-tar|c1= → ''a:ratar''|PERF-cut|'he has cut it'}}
* {{IPA|/w/}} changes to {{IPA|/kʷ/}} whenever it follows a consonantal segment which is not {{IPA|/k/}} or {{IPA|/kʷ/}}:
{{interlinear|indent=3|i-s-wa|c1= → ''iskwa''|IMP-you-go|'go!'}}
{{interlinear|indent=3|i-t-wa|c1= → ''ickwa''|IMP-I-go|'let me go!'}}
* {{IPA|/ɾ/}} changes to {{IPA|/h/}} before {{IPA|/k/}} or {{IPA|/kʷ/}}. The most numerous examples involve the collective-plural prefix ''r-'' before a morpheme beginning with {{IPA|/k/}}:
{{interlinear|indent=3|ti-r-kita-re:sʔi|c1= → ''tihkitare:sʔi''|IND-COL-top-lie.INAN|'they are lying on top'}}
* {{IPA|/t/}} with a following {{IPA|/s/}} or {{IPA|/ɾ/}} to give {{IPA|/t͡s/}}:
{{interlinear|indent=3|keʔe-t-rika:s-ti:kwi|c1= → ''keʔecika:sti:kwi''|FUT-I-head-hit|'I will hit him on the head'}}
* {{IPA|/t/}} changes to {{IPA|/t͡s/}} before {{IPA|/i/}} or any non-vowel:
{{interlinear|indent=3|ta-t-r-taʔas|c1= → ''taccaʔas''|IND-I-COL-bite|'I bit them'}}
* {{IPA|/k/}} changes to {{IPA|/s/}} before {{IPA|/t/}}:
{{interlinear|indent=3|ti-ʔak-tariyar-ic|c1= → ''taʔastariyaric''|IND-PL-cut.randomly-repeatedly|'he butchered them'}}
* {{IPA|/ɾ/}}, {{IPA|/j/}}, and {{IPA|/h/}} change to {{IPA|/s/}} after {{IPA|/s/}} or {{IPA|/t͡s/}}:
{{interlinear|indent=3|ichiris-ye:ckeʔe:kʔa|c1= → ''ichirisse:ckeʔe:kʔa''|bird-ember|'redbird'}}<ref name="Rood, 1975, p. 315-337" />
