Several of the sounds have a 'blended' version.  A consonant blend is two consonants in a row pronounced one after the other.  Most of these blends only appear at the beginning of syllables.

All obstruents in Brooding, with the exception of the affricate ''ch''. may be followed by a liquid; voiced obstruents are followed by <r> and unvoiced by <l>. Finally, another group of clusters can be formed from <s> plus an unvoiced stop.
