Footnotes
- ↑ Lenition of either /f/ or /f′/ equates to no sound being pronounced at all.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 /ŋ/ and /ŋ′/ had never developed any lenis counterparts, neither in the modern nor historical forms of the language.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Distinction is made between a central vowel in a broad environment, /ə/, and a central vowel in a slender environment, /ɪ/. e.g. tuatha /tuə̯.hə/ vs. tuaithe /tuə̯.hɪ/.
