Historical Linguistics - Lenition in Arusian

During Arusian's evolution, lenition was a constant and strong process that affected several roots, leading to the weakening or disappearance of consonants in the middle. This process also happened in languages like French and Danish, causing many sounds to vanish and words to sound way shorter than their etymological equivalents in the previous stages.

In Arusian, lenited consonants that don't vanish usually become fricatives -- more specifically, an uvular fricative.
