Yakots

Phonology.
Vowels.

Although there are a total of sixteen vowels, there's only eight vowel phonemes. This is because the value for roundedness is determined morphologically according to the binyan (discussed below in Morphology). Semi-vowels: w, j, ɥ.

Morphology.
There are three essential parts of the morphology of Yakɛjts. These are:


 * 1) A stem consisting of two consonants or clusters of consonants, in the form A-B.
 * 2) One to three thematic-morphemic vowels, in the form X-Y-Z. The vowels are responsible for encoding person and tense in verbs. In a given word, all vowels will have the same values for [round], which is determined by the binyan.
 * 3) A binyan, or structure, around which the vowels and consonants form. The binyanim are responsible for tense, aspect and mood. They are also responsible for the harmonic features of the vowels. A binyan will have two consonants, labled C, and any number of vowels. A binyan may also include additional phonological information.

Stems.
Each stem consists of two consonants in the form C-C. Below are some example verbal stems:

k-m, "go"; z-p, "wish"; l-f, "sing"; zh-g, "hear"; k-ts "speak."

Vocalization.
All of the vowels in a verb can be discerned by knowing one of them and its relevant vocalic variable. Each vocalic variable, labled X, Y or Z, indicates the values of the other two in context because each value for a given vocalic variable is associated with preordained values for the other two. That is, for a given vowel X there will always be specific values for Y and Z. There are a total
