Stops are more likely to become fricatives than the other way around,
especially in environments such as intervocalic or syllable-finally
(incidentally, early Uatakassi had syllable-final stops -> fricatives;
while Chúju, a descendant I'm currently working on, had IV non-geminate
stop -> fricatives)
