Your top-level groupings are correct! (Finally.) Your vowels need fixing. And like every. Single. Guess before you - you made the same mistake on the last syllable of the proto form!! *Confetti* But 3 is not too shabby. Fix the vowels and you'll get it. What are you referring to?

Vowel harmony based on long vowels present in a word, if there are no long vowels then breathy vowels take priority, and if not that, the word doesn't change except for /a ə/. Front vowels in back context become rounded, but not vice versa. a ə > æ e # _j, j_ a ə > ə ɨ in neutral words. h > ç in fro...
