Phonotactics
Syllable structure is very complex, but has many limits on what can occur.

(S)(T)(F)(R)(J)(V)(L)(L)(N)(A)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)

S is a sibilant fricative

T is a stop, affricate or /ɣ/

F is any fricative

R is any sonorant

J is /j/ or /v/

V is any vowel

L is any sonorant other than a nasal

N is a nasal

A is an affricate or fricative

O is any obstruent

Morphemes can only end with 2 obstruents, but up to 4 more can be added when dependent morphemes are added to roots. Long vowels and diphthongs can only occur in stressed syllables, and lax vowels cannot occur in closed syllables. Syllables without vowels must have at least one sonorant. Words do not actually begin with vowel sounds phonetically, and a glottal stop is added before them, as well as between two vowels in hiatus, which is not permitted.
