There was a regular change *v→b in the Meri subgroup of the Mofu group. The medial *g has been lost in all groups except for Proto-Mandara and Proto-Maroua, probably via an intermediate change to *ɣ, both of which are unestablished changes. (The Mofu-Gudur form may be borrowed from Giziga Marva.) In Proto-Mafa and Gidar the loss of *g has been compensated for by the reduplication of the first syllable, which is a common sporadic process. The labialisation prosody in Gidar and the /u/ in Sukur may indicate that *gʷ should be reconstructed instead of *g. The final *ɗ has been lost in Proto-Mandara and Proto-Gidar. Within the Mofu group, several languages have /j/ as a result of the palatalisation prosody causing *ɗʲ→j. These are common sporadic processes.1Proto-Mafa*vavaɗ ʸholetrou1.1MafaNdokobaiveveɗtrou2Proto-Sukur*vuɗholetrou2.1SukurDavidvuɗhole2.2SukurThomasvuɗHole: is a hollow space in a something solid or in the surfaceof something.3Proto-Mandara*vɨgɨ ʸholetrou3.1MatalBrangerafikholetrou3.2PodokoSwackhammervɨ́getrou3.3MandaraFluckigerévegetrou (m)3.4MalgwaLöhrəvəgehole3.5GlavdaOwensaafhole1GlavdaNghagyivaàfkahole3.6DghwedeFrickfkehole4Proto-Mofu*vɨɗ ʸholetrou4.1OuldemeKinnairdāvìholetrou4.2MadaBarreteauvvèɗtrou4.3MolokoFriesenpəɗeholetrou4.4ZulgoHallerbìjetrou m.4.5GemzekSabataibijeholetrou4.6MereyGravinabəɗholetrou4.7DugworJubumnaabedhole; pittrou; fosse4.8Mofu-GudurHollingsworth́vəgeɗtrou, orifice ; tombe5Proto-Maroua*vɨgɨɗ ʸholetrou5.1Giziga MoutourwaMichielanvigiɗ(i)trou, tombe5.2Giziga MarvaHamidouvigeɗholetrou5.3MbazlaTourneuxveɗtrou6Proto-Gidar*vɨva ʷholetrou6.1GidarHungerfordvovutrou6.2GidarSchuhvomvutrou
