<<The <ph> sounds like an <f>, if I'm not mistaken. That's called lenition in celtic languages.>> Or spirantization, in other languages. All the same, these are usually auditorally or phonetically conditioned sound changes, not phonemic. If anything, I'd think the <ph> would become a victim of paradigm leveling. I'm curious to see what the answer will be. -David
