The reduplication will cause the consonant to lose its aspiration. Therefore, the phi will change to a pi (π), the xi to a kapa (κ), and the theta to a tau (τ). This makes it easier to pronounce. The consonants in the first two columns (Voiceless and Voiced) will reduplicate like any other consonant.
