Thanks for clarifying. I was actually thinking of [n] before velar, such as 
in "gunku". I didn't realise there were any allophones in Lojban. This 
surprises me.

<br>Assimiliation doesn't really happen much in Lojban. You can assimilate 
<br>[n] before velar -&gt; [N], but [n] is just an allophone of /n/,

<br>What kind of assimilation do you have in mind?
