Intervocalically, /d/ usually becomes /r/ or, less frequently, /l/:
búkid mountain + ka-an = kabukíran or, alternatively, kabukílan
mountains
Vice versa, in roots with intervocalic /l/ or /r/, the /l/ or /r/ may
change to /d/ when final or abutting on a consonant.
walà /waláʔ/ be lost + -un = wad-un /wadʔun/ lose s.t. (with loss
of the final vowel of the root).
hurut /hurút/ use up + -un = hutdun /hútdun/ use s.t. up (with
metathesis).
When a /d/, /l/, or /r/ comes to abut on velar consonant it tends to
change to /g/: [17]
pálung /páluŋ/ extinguish + -an = pagngan /págŋan/ extinguish it
haluk /halúk/ kiss + -an = hagkan /hágkan/ kiss it
/r/ or, occasionally, /l/ at the end of a root may change to /h/ when
suffixes are added. These are almost always words of Spanish
provenience.
mantinil make do with + -an = mantinihan make do with it
imbitar invite + -un = imbitahun invite him
