Nouns shown here ending in -n change their endings depending on whom they belong to: ngiêngg "my hand", ngiêm "your hand", ngiên "his/her hand", etc.

In the present tense, the initial consonant of a verb may change (v to b, vw to bw, and in old-fashioned Ske z to d): ni va "I went", mwa ^mba "I go".

In addition to this list, a basic comparative word list can be found in the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database.
