There is no set stress position, but an allophonic pitch system based on vowels' surrounding consonants. These pitches are not contrastive but are seen as proper and are required in recitations. | |||

Whether glottalized pre-stopped nasals pattern as pre-stopped or glottalized varies by speaker and region. | |||

Declarative sentences generally have a falling pitch throughout, but volume and pitch range can be used for emphasis. In questions or negated sentences the particle ''xen'' may also be emphasized with a sharp falling pitch followed by higher pitch in the following word. | |||
====Rhythm==== | |||
Syllables are generally mora-timed, with syllables containing long and overlong vowels having two or three morae; in recitations, continuant coda consonants or coda clusters with them may have their own mora, and overlong syllables may instead have four morae. | |||
===Phonotactics=== | ===Phonotactics=== | ||
Syllables are at most CC₁VC₂C, with C₁ being a non-lateral approximant and C₂ being C₁ or /ʔ/, but these maximum syllables are very rare. There are no restrictions on what clusters can occur. | |||
