The syllable structure is maximally (N)C(S)V(L), where N is a pre-nasalizing vowel which is homorganic with the following consonant, S is a semi-vowel (either j or w), and C is a final consonant or semi-vowel, limited to m, n, ŋ, l, r, h, w, or j.
Mid-syllable semi-vowels trigger palatalization, which changes d's to j's (i.e. /dʒ/).  The labialized r is actually /ɻʷ/.  The palatalized r is a tap.

Orthography

Yavona has a unique writing, which has been called a featural abugida. m is a single hump. n is a box. ŋ is a inverse-hump, a U. r is like a C, while l is the mirror image. A voiced stop is made with a horizontal strike through. Prenasalization is a diaeresis above. Labialvelarization is a ring in the middle or below. Palatalization is a vertical strike through. Ejectives are a dot below. Fricatives double up the nasal symbol. X is the glottal stop. Double r is the Czech r. Double l is the French r.

A is a triangle. u is a 7, o is one upside down. i is the top-left corner shape, while e is that upside down. Nasal vowels are diaeresis. Subscripts indicate coda consonants/semi-vowels.
