The lastest sketch features no labial consonants and no rounded vowels. There are high and low-toned vowels plus creaky-voiced vowels. Historically, there's obstruent voicing assimilation and *p > ?, *b > creaky voice, with the vowel quality from the preceding vowel, *m > N, *f > X, and *w > R, as well as other changes, most exemplified by *sl > K:.

The morphology is more of the usual. A verb has up to 3 person-number prefixes, omitted if the argument is indefinite or unspecified, with everything else suffixed, including attributive agreement (animacy and number, but animacy is distinguished only for passive forms; similarly, patient prefixes but not agent prefixes distinguish animacy). Nouns are suffixed for ergative, vocative, and partitive cases, with absolutive unmarked.

Word order is probably SOV, but who really knows?
