The maximal syllable structure is CCVCC, where V is any vowel or diphthong, and the second element in a complex coda must be an obstruent. /h/ cannot occur in clusters or coda; radicals are prohibited word-finally. Up to CCC medial clusters are permitted.
The maximal syllable structure is (s)CCVCC, where V is any vowel or diphthong, and the second element in a complex coda must be an obstruent. /h/ cannot occur in clusters or coda; radicals are prohibited word-finally.
 
Permitted initial CC- clusters:
*[any obstruent except ''v''] + {''l'', ''r''}
*''cm, cn, tm, tn''
*[non-labial obstruent] + {''v'', ''m''}
*''m'' + {''l'', ''r'', ''n''}
 
Permitted medial clusters are, roughly, those which begin like final clusters, may or may not have an "intersection" segment and end like initial clusters.
 
Permitted -CC- clusters (of these only geminates and clusters ending in non-radical obstruents are permissible as final -CC):
*The following geminates: ''cc'', ''cch'', ''ff'', ''ll'', ''mm'', ''nn'', ''pp'', ''rr'', ''ss'', ''tt'', ''tth''
*''bl, br''
*''cl, cm, cn, cr, cs, ct (only in nct), cv''
*''chl, chm, chn, chr, cht, chv''
*''dm, dn, dr, dv''
*''dhm, dhn, dhr, dhv''
*''fl, fr, fs''
*''gl, gm, gn, gr, gv''
*''ghl, ghm, ghn, ghr, ghv''
*''ħl, ħm, ħn, ħr, ħs, ħt, ħv''
*''lb, lc, lch, ld, ldh, lf, lg, lgh, lħ, lm, ln, lp, lq, ls, lt, lth, lv, lz''
*''mb, ml, mn, mp''
*''nc, nch, nd, ndh, nf, ng, ngh, nħ, nl, nq, ns, nt, nth, nv, nz''
*''pl, pr, ps''
*''ql, qr, qv''
*''rb, rc, rch, rd, rdh, rf, rg, rgh, rħ, rm, rn, rp, rq, rs, rt, rth, rv, rz''
*''sc, sch, sf, sħ, sq, st, sth, sv''
*''thm, thn, thr, thv''
*''tm, tn, tr, tv''
 
Permitted clusters can be organized as follows:
*Terminating in ''-t'':
**''cht'' < {*p, *b, *f, *ƛ, *ł, *k, *g, *x} + t
**''ħt'' < {*q, *ʁ, *χ} + t
**''lt'' < {*l} + t
**''nt'' < {*m, *n} + t
**''rt'' < {*r} + t
**''st'' < {*s, *z} + t
