Proto-Indo-European to Proto-Pannonian (PIE - 300 BC)
Extended Sievers' Law
Resonants develop an epenthetic vowel when following a cluster.
- *dʰǵʰmé- > *dʰǵʰ(m̥)mé-

Syncope
i u > 0 / VC_[-stress]CV
- also sometimes word-initially, esp if #VSC
- Latin ex- may be borrowed as ks- or s- in addition to iks-
- some exceptions for affricates
- [e] allophone of /i/ isn't affected by syncope

Thorn cluster resolution
'Thorn clusters' become /h/ or /G/ depending on voicing.

Syncope
Vowel loss word-finally (except -ɔ < long a) and in VC_CV (only within roots, mostly! - not inflections) and VC_t#.
If the preceding vowel is stressed, it takes low tone.
If the dropped vowel is stressed, the preceding vowel takes low tone.
VC_CV syncope takes priority over final syncope.
This doesn't apply to long vowels.
/j@ v@/ are treated as vowels, but instead of dropping, they become /i u/.
Cluster reduction
kt > kk (some other cluster reduction here - maybe Pt > PP)
VPR > VˀR - except /kl gl/ or word-initially (where schwa epenthesis applies - also FR)
palatalization of peripheral consonants is lost except before a vowel, where it becomes j
final -Ra > -@R after a consonant (via -@Ra)
word-initial unstressed vowels are lost, and resulting cross-word clusters are broken up by epenthetic schwa - between the consonants unless it's just a long consonant or an epenthetic NP cluster
#ŋ > #n
Unstressed vowels are mostly neutralized to a binary high/low contrast.
Low tone > glottalization, but only in disyllables.
a low-tone syllable preceded by an unstressed syllable shifts stress backwards, then all the tones merge.
unstressed pretonic schwa takes on the character of the following vowel if any
lj > j
word-final vowels are lost unless there's a big cluster. preceding stressed vowels are lengthened
