==== Notes ====
* *In analyses where the sonorants are seen as possible glides between initials and the nucleus, the distribution of initials changes quite heavily.
* There is also a glottal stop, sometimes written as &lt;q&gt;.
* &lt;h&gt; represents would-be /ɸ/, but this sound, when constructed, is meant to suggest a sound change before the voiceless labial sonorant arose. Some do not reconstruct it at all.
* &lt;s&gt; is argued by some to be /θ/.


=== Vowels ===
=== Vowels ===
There are considerably less vowels than consonants, but these have a large number of environmental allophones.

'''Notes'''
* (1): These are commonly reconstructed as simple plosives, as there is scant evidence for a full final voiceless nasal series
* (2): These are controversial -- there is no direct evidence for them, and the only theories reconstructing them involve regressive voiceless harmony and proposed external relationships with other languages.
=== Common vowel outcomes ===
Note that /æ/ is sometimes written /ɛ/, /ʌ/ as /ɑ/, and /ǝa, aǝ/ as either /aa/ or /ɯa, aɯ/

==== Syllable structure ====
Each syllable has a structure of CVC, better described as Initial-Nucleus-Final.
==== Disallowed roots ====
Generally, the retroflex coronals cannot appear together in the Initial and Finals lots of the syllable, unless it is the exact same consonant (which is essentially analysed as vestigial reduplication). Thus, a retroflex initial or final should generally be paired with a dental initial or final.
