Phonotactics

Tsrovesh phonology is slightly less restrictive than Israeli Hebrew but much more so than Georgian. As in both languages, initial consonant clusters appear frequently in Tsrovesh. Initial clusters of the form l/r + consonant are allowed (Are those really syllabic resonants?). For example:

  • cróveš (the name of the language)
  • ldag (door)
  • šmer (man)
  • cnáxat (dream)
  • gzin (to shine)
  • vna (to live)
  • lvar (to play)
  • tkéšet (regardless)
  • švíli (for me)

Medial consonant clusters are also common:

  • ertmá (spider)
  • detkvís (limestone)
  • opxrám (reed)

The only allowed final clusters are Cs and Ct.

Grammar

There are clitic pronouns as in Spanish and Biblical Hebrew.
