'''Endqwo''' ([[w:endonym|endonym]]: ''ndq̀o''; <small>Endqwo:</small> [[w:IPA chart|[n̩d.qʷo]]) is the experimental version of its sister, [[Endeqwo]], it works a lot like Ithkuil, except with a much larger sound inventory, allowing for even more distinctions, this language makes little attempt at pronouncability, instead favoring efficiency.

===Syllable structure===
The maximum is (CC)V(CC), this only occurs in compound words like 'tʷʼen' (/tʷʼen/; good life), consonants can only cluster as 'stop-fric' or 'fric-stop' and voicedness must match, so a valid cluster would be /zd/ of /ft/, but /zt/ or /qd/ are invalid.
The only other allowed clusters are (S for stop) /Sr/, /Sl/, and /Sj/, /Sw/ is not possible because this would turn to /Sʷ/.
