Order (03100)

After	02400	[x], [s] unvoiced following [j], [w]
After	02600	syllabic nasals developed a preceding vowel of similar quality
After	03000	voiced stops became spirants except after nasals and liquids
Before	04300	initial [ŋ] vanished
Before	04500	initial nasals plus stops reduced to nasals

initial nasals plus stops reduced to nasals would be a more straightforward rule if it occurred before dentalization, but that can’t be the case because of how initial isolated [ŋ] vanished after dentalization; velars were dentalized before [j]
