I'm fiddling around with the rules. I was thinking that /n/ from Tagalog
becomes /m/ and then /m/ becomes /n/ but somehow i dont think that is too
natural (for two letters to switch like that :).

I did however keep the changes consistent with sounds that are produced
from the same area of the mouth. Another question is, is it natural for
say /g/  to become /k/ and then /k/ to become /g/?

Here's examples of the sound changes i have been doing so far:

Maganda - nakamta
Dagat - takad
Lalake - lalage
anak - amag
pangalan - bangalam

so, what do you think?
