Kiimuu

Phonology
/M/, /n/ and /l/ may be geminate.

There are three vowel qualities, /a/, /i/ and /u/. They may be short or long.

Nasals and /l/ might be devoiced word-finally.

The voiceless stops are aspirated word-initially, unaspirated between vowels, and unreleased world-finally.

/B/, /d/ and /g/ are voiced stops word-initially. /B/ and /d/ are flaps, and /g/ is silent, between vowels.

Stress falls on the first syllable.

A vowel might be followed by a more sonorant vowel (but not the other way around). Two vowels next to each other must always be pronounced separately, as two different syllables.

Verbs

Verbs are not inflected for tense, aspect, or anything else. As with all words, they come only in one form. Tense and aspect is indicated by optional adverbs.

The main verb predicate is often preceded by the word taa, an auxiliary verb that means roughly "to do".

Adjectives

Adjectives follow the noun they qualify. They are often preceded by the word in.
