Phonology

Word structure

Preinitial + initial + rime, like Germanic and Khmer; how long should preinitials and rimes be?

Initials

• /(0|s)/ + /k⁼ kʰ ŋ ŋ̊/ + /(0|w|l|n)/
• /(0|s)/ + /c⁼ cʰ ɲ ɲ̊ ʎ ʎ̥/
• /(0|s)/ + /t⁼ tʰ n n̥ l l̥/ + /(0|w|l|n)/
• /(0|s)/ + /l l̥/ + /(0|w)/
• /(0|s)/ + /p⁼ pʰ m m̥/ + /(0|j|w|l|n)/
• /j ç/
• /(0|s)/ + /w/
• /(0|s)/ + /h s ts θ tθ ʔ/ + /(0|j|w|n)/

Rimes

Todo: Develop Proto-Twethoic, and use umlaut to get more vowels from Proto-Twethoic rimes.

Structure of rimes

Rimes may be monosyllabic or polysyllabic, but the first syllable of the rime receives primary stress by definition.
