For this variety of Zapotec at least, there are at least the following:
- Equipollent (less transitive has a lenis initial C; more transitive has the corresponding fortis C
- Less transitive derived from more transitive
- d- replaces initial g-
- y- replaces an initial C (usually g-, but sometimes another C)
- bi- replaces tsi- or dzi- syllable
- More transitive derived from less transitive
- prefix gu- added to root
- prefix or infix u- added to root
- prefix s- or sa- added to root
