/ŋ/ is lost between nasalized vowels and a consonant.

[ˈzʷẽĩk]

Initial [k] becomes [p].

Again, I feel I must point out: This isn't a letter-substitution game, it's sound change game. How likely is an unconditioned change of initial /k/ to /p/ in a language? (Yes, they're both voiceless plosives, but produced at opposite sides of the mouth.) If we're going to throw all phonetic plausibility out the window, then the game becomes essentially mechanical and mindless.

Actually, I was thinking the [k] > [p] shift would be possible seeing as it was an unaspirated stop in an unstressed syllable and could simply have been drawn forward by the following [fʷ]. Does that seem too implausible to you? Sorry, I suppose I should have explained.

Final [k] is voiced to [g] after nasalized vowels:

[zʷẽĩg]

A lot of these changes aren't entirely plausible so [g] palatalizes AFTER front vowels.

[zʷẽĩgʲ]

We should try to make the changes plausible though.

For example: [zʷẽĩdʒ]. Palatalized velars shift to postalveolar affricates. Very common change among the world's languages.

[zʷẽĩʧ]

Devoicing of final stops and affricates.

Mid-to-high diphthongs are monophthongized.

[zʷẽːʧ]

[zʷeːnʧ]
The e loses its nasalization and the ʧ is prenasalized as a result.

Long vowels shortened in closed syllables:

Is this really the word "paralyzing" anymore!? :)

No, it's "zwench."

Mid vowels are lowered in closed syllables.

[zʷɛnʧ]
