<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
In Kaidu all syllables can be a maximum of CVC. C can be ANY consonant, including prenasalized stops in initial positions. When a prenasal stop is syllable final, it becomes a homorganic cluster of nasal+stop. Certain consonants become palatal versions when before the diphthongs ia, io and iu.

Kaidu's Latin alphabet, called Romakak, is very straightforward, as it is made to be a 1 to 1 correspondence with the conscript, called Kaikak.
