Given the basic stops /t c k/, is /t c/ > /p t/ plausible?

@Sevly: I can't +1 this enough. In my own conworld of the Divine Plane, most magic miracles are basically "action-replay-ing reality"--quite literally, as they basically "hack" into the laws of physics and change them around for a limited amount of time. Thus, miracles let one do that which is norma...

Phonology created specifically to try to beat the test: /ɴ k͜p q ʔ k͜pʰ qʰ k͜pʼ qʼ ʟ̞ (uvular)/ /a i ɯ u ã ĩ ɯ̃ ũ/ tonesː hiɡh, mid, low nasality harmony C(:)V No points , half , full . 1.

5. At least two MOAs with identical POA arrays 7. No single MOA found at all POAs [half mark if only one MOA at all POAs] Is it at all possible for these two to be simultaneously false? 15. 5-7 POAs [half mark if at least 4 POAs] 47. No more than four POAs for stops (affricates not counted) [half m...

Non-English example: Polish word for weir is jaz.

If I create glottalic stops from P + /?/ clusters, where the voicing of the P determines whether the result is an ejective or an implosive, is it plausible for /p?/ to result in /b_</ instead of expected /p_>/? Similarly, is it plausible for /g?/ to result in /k_>/ rather than /g_</?

I still think some parts of this test are biased. Such as 20: "7 or more vowel qualities [half mark for 5 or more]". not having initial velar nasals or lateral obstruents or whatever doesn't automatically make your conlang look european. not having initial velar nasals or lateral obstruents and not...

What's a plausible way to get murmur or creaky voice into a language?

Thanks.

Another question: how can I get rid of /T/ and /D/, except the obvious changes to /t d/ and /s z/?

Is /l/ > /d/ | V_V possible?

Also, hi.
