Labialization always acts as a /w/ like sound, even in the labial series, where /pʷ/ is not protruded.
Consonants distinguish length, as can be seen in the 2nd person object marker, "-qqe" (/qːe/)
There are a few consonants that can syllabic, /n/, /nʷ/, /ŋ/, /ŋʷ/, /l/, /r/, and most ejectives.
Vowels
| front | back | |
|---|---|---|
| Close | i ი | u უ |
| Mid | e ე | o ო |
| open | a ა |
Syllable structure
The maximum is (CC)V(CC), this only occurs in compound words like 'tʷʼen' (/tʷʼen/; good life), consonants can only cluster as 'stop-fric' or 'fric-stop' and voicedness must match, so a valid cluster would be /zd/ of /ft/, but /zt/ or /qd/ are invalid.
The only other allowed clusters are (S for stop) /Sr/, /Sl/, and /Sj/, /Sw/ is not possible because this would turn to /Sʷ/.
