	===Nucleus===		===Nucleus===

			Core sounds are classified into whistles and hisses according to their phonation. The length of a whistle or a hiss is also phonemic.

			==Morphophonology==

			*Egressive voiceless whistles are used mostly in nominals
			**Consonants are used in classifiers and for infixal derivation
			***"object-class of-wood-is table" = wooden table, "flat-class dirt-has table" = dirty surface, "massive-class spread table" = wide table-top mountain, ...
			*Egressive voiced whistles appear in pronouns and sensory adjectives
			*Ingressive voiceless whistles are used in adverbal affixes used for modifying both verbals and nominals and for derivation
			*Ingressive voiced whistles appear in separate adpositions and conjunctions
			*Voiceless hisses create stative verbal roots and adjectival words
			**Consonant addition gives rise to non-finite verb forms and numerals (headlike, eyelike, fingerlike, limblike and handlike numbers)
			*Voiced hisses appear in dynamic verbs and in participative interjections
