'''Denasalization''' is a sound change caused by no airflow through the nose. It can happen when a common cold blocks the sinuses.
In general, the voiced plosives {{IPA|[b d ɡ]}}
Denasalization suggests that {{tp|nena mi}} ("my nose") could be pronounced as {{IPA|[ˈdeda bi]}} (compare "by doze"). Without considering denasalization, this pronunciation would be heard as {{tp|*teta pi}} (compare "pie toes").
