kux ['kij] 'to end; forehead', muy ['mij] 'to hold, to grab (irrealis)', tox ['t?j ~ 'tuwI] 'long', nõy ['n?j] 'other; same-sex sibling'.

The vowels /i i u u/ are further lowered to [? ? o õ], respectively, preceding a velar coda, as in tuk ['t??] 'to grow up', yumug [ni'm??] 'to know, to understand, to learn', ponok [pu'do?] 'white', mõg ['mõ?] 'to go (realis)'. The front vowels /e e i i/ are never followed by a surface velar coda, because underlying velar codas are palatalized to palatal codas in this environment.
