Could you give some examples of all this?  Does /i/ delete even if C1 is
word-initial, resulting in an initial consonant cluster?  Why does /u/
change after alveolars?  Is this some kind of assimilation?  Derounding
after an alveolar doesn't seem all that naturalistic to me...

Other than that, you seem to have a fine start here.  I look forward to
seeing more of the grammar description, along with some examples!
