The maximal syllable structure is CCCVCC, 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.

Permitted initial CC- clusters:
Permitted initial CC- clusters:

Permitted CCC- clusters:
*s + {p, m, t, ŧ, c, q} + {l, r}


Permitted medial clusters are, roughly, those which begin like final clusters, may or may not have an "intersection" segment and end like initial clusters.
