Cool Phonological Laws
Japonic
Sources include: WP:Old Japanese#Restrictions
- "Words do not begin with r or the voiced plosives b, d, z and g, with the exception of a few loanwords." (WP 2018)
- "A bare vowel does not occur except for word-initially: vowel sequences were not permitted." (WP 2018)
- "Arisaka's Law states that -o2 is generally not found in the same morpheme as -a, -o1 or -u." (WP 2018)
- Also Japanese vowel devoicing (especially for closed vowels /i/ and /u/)
