Phonotactics

Syllable (σ)
Onset (ω) Rime (ρ)
Initial (ι) Medial (μ) Nucleus (ν) Coda (κ)
  • Consonant
  • Semivowel
  • Liquid
  • Plosive
  • /s/
  • Vowel
  • Diphthong
  • Nasal
  • Liquid
  • Fricative
  • Liquid + fricative
  • Liquid + nasal

Initial (ι)

  • Initials are optional word-initially and mandatory elsewhere
  • Can’t have the same manner of articulation as a preceding coda

Medial (μ)

  • Medials re optional
  • Liquids are only allowed after stops or fricatives
  • /s/ Is only allowed after nasals or liquids
  • /s/ is forbidden on a first syllable or after a syllable with coda

Nucleus (ν)

  • Nuclei are mandatory
  • Diphthongs are not allowed after a semivowel

Coda (κ)

  • Codas are optional
  • Nasals must have the same place of articulation as the following obstruent
  • Liquid + fricative are only allowed word-finally

Stress

Stress is often placed on the first syllable, sometimes on the second.

Allophony

  • Voiced fricatives [β ð ɣ] undergo fortition [b d g] when adjacent to a stop or nasal
  • Adjacent unvoiced stops and their voiced counterparts [pb bp td dt kg gk] become voiced and geminated [b: d: g:]
  • The voiced alveolar fricative [ð] undergoes fortition [d] before [l]
  • The lateral approximant [l] becomes a lateral release [◌ˡ] after alveolar stops [t d]
  • Alveolar and velar nasals [n ŋ] become palatal nasals [ɲ] before [j]
