The syllable structure is maximally (N)C(S)V(L), where N is a pre-nasalizing vowel which is homorganic with the following consonant, S is a semi-vowel (either '''j''' or '''w'''), and L is a final liquid, limited to '''m''', '''n''', '''ŋ''', '''l''', '''r''', '''h''', '''w''', or '''j'''.
Mid-syllable semi-vowels trigger palatalization, which changes d's to j's (i.e. /dʒ/).  The labialized '''rw''' is actually /ɻʷ/.  The palatalized '''rj''' is a tap.
Possible initial consonant clusters are: '''mb''', '''nd''', '''ŋg''', '''mbw''', '''ndw''', '''ŋgw''', '''mbj''', '''ndj''', '''ŋgj''', '''bw''', '''dw''', '''gw''', '''bj''', '''dj''', '''gj''', '''hw''', '''hj''', '''ml''', '''lj''', '''lw''', '''rj''', '''rw''', '''fw''', '''sw''', '''zw''', '''fj''', '''mf''', '''ms''', '''mz''', '''mfw''', '''msw''', '''mzw''', and '''mfj'''.
=== Orthography ===
Yavona has a unique writing, which has been called featural.  '''m''' is a single hump.  '''n''' is a box.  '''ŋ''' is a inverse-hump, a U.  '''r''' is like a C, while '''l''' is the mirror image.  A voiced stop is made with a horizontal strike through.  Prenasalization is a diaeresis above.  Labialvelarization is a ring in the middle or below.  Palatalization is a vertical strike through.  Ejectives are a dot below.  Fricatives double up the nasal symbol.  An X is the glottal stop.  Double r is the Czech r.  Double l is the French r. 
Word-medially and initially in West-African loan words only, there is the /gb/ letter, which looks rather like and asterisks.  It cannot be prenasalized, labiovelarized, palatalized, or fricitivized.
'''a''' is a triangle.  '''u''' is a 7, '''o''' is one upside down.  '''i''' is the top-left corner shape, while '''e''' is that upside down.  Nasal vowels are diaeresis.  Subscripts indicate coda consonants/semi-vowels.

  • an ejective plus vowel plus (af)fricative with nasal release
  • a click/trill
  • a click/trill plus (af)fricative
