Bilabial nasal to Voiceless alveolar affricate
A complex transformation from a bilabial nasal [m] to a voiceless alveolar affricate [ts]. This change is highly unusual and would likely proceed through several stages, such as epenthesis ([m] -> [mpt]) followed by further shifts.

Affrication, Epenthesis
Language Examples
[m]→[ts]— The described phenomenon of epenthetic [p] after [m] (e.g., 'warmth' /wɔːrmθ/ to [wɔːrmpθ]) does not result in [ts]. This example is unattested for an [m] to [ts] transformation.
