 The general order for consonants in a cluster is as below (note that clusters can only occur word-internally and no more than two consonants can cluster at a time):
-:/r/ - (nasal) - non-guttural fricative - /l/ - nasal - labial/velar stop - (liquid) - coronal/palatal stop - guttural fricative
+:/r/ - (nasal) - non-guttural fricative - /l/ - nasal - stop - (liquid) - guttural fricative
 :'''Notes:'''
 :*Nasals can occur before or after non-guttural fricatives.
-:*Liquids can occur before or after labial and velar obstruents.
+:*Liquids can occur before or after labial and velar obstruents. /r/ can occur before or after coronal stops.
 :*When a labial and velar stop cluster, they may occur in either order. Coronal/palatal stops do not cluster with each other and always occur after labial/velar stops.
 :*Semivowels do not occur before or after another consonant in native words.
 :*Any non-guttural consonant (including semivowels) can be geminated between vowels.
-The above hierarchy only applies within roots. It does not apply to compound words (e.g. ''dukkaanle'' "shop owner"), loanwords (e.g. ''fahmi'' "to understand"), or at morphological boundaries (e.g. ''baxtá'' "she leaves").
