Phonotactics

 * Basic syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C).
 * Onset clusters follow this hierarchy: plosives -> fricatives -> nasals -> approximates; consonants can be followed by lower-order consonants but not higher-order consonants.
 * Nasals followed by another consonant (which is rare) must assimilate to the following consonant's place of articulation.
 * The initial alveolar trill (/r/) becomes an alveolar tap (/ɾ/) finally and a alveolar approximate (/ɹ/) medially.

Imperfect aspect is the default aspect.
