	Word-initial voiceless stops are usually only weakly unvoiced when they come directly after a word ending in a vowel or /r/, and the fricatives /s̪/, /s/, /ʃ/, and /x/ are fully voiced to [z̪], [z], [ʒ], [ɣ] in the same circumstances.

	/t/, the only stop permitted to end a word, is not pronounced [t] in that position save for when it ends an utterance. If the following word begins with a vowel, the /t/ is pronounced as an approximant [ð̞]. If the following word begins with a consonant, the /t/ is usually realized as gemination of that consonant.		/t/, the only stop permitted to end a word, is not pronounced [t] in that position save for when it ends an utterance.

	==== Controversy ~~About Murmured Stops~~ ====		==== Controversy about murmured stops ====
	Many older analyses of Araçanic's consonant inventory included the murmured stops /bʱ/, /dʱ/, and /dʒʱ/, which are now usually represented in phonemic trascriptions as sequences of a voiced stop and /h/. In ancient forms of the language, these sequences were treated as single phonemes, along with aspirated stops like /pʰ/ and */tʰ/. However, sound changes such as the loss of coda consonants before /bh/, /dh/, and /dʒh/, and the emergence of new clusters like /mh/ and /s̪h/ make it more convenient to treat these as clusters of a voiced stop and /h/.

	==== Other ~~Allophonic Rules~~ ====		==== The post-alveolar or palatal glide /ɹʲ/ ====
			The phoneme transcribed /ɹʲ/ only occurs in a medial position, immediately succeeding the consonants /k/, /g/, /p/, and /b/. It has been variously described as a post-alveolar approximant [ɹ̠], a laminal approximant [ʑ̞], or fricated versions of either of those. Because of its extremely restricted location phonotactically, it can only ever contrast phonemically with /r/ and /h/.
