===Prior Syllabary=== | |||
1350 isolated syllables of semantic priority are allowed within Diluvian (disregarding alternative vowels as well as nasal forms and consonantal clusters in coda position). In Babelic, however, there would be only 1020 prior syllables due the loss of final glottal stop. | |||
