Phonotactics
- All words except for particles must have a C onset.
- A standard root is C(R)V(S)C-, where R is r, l, y, or w and S is r, l, y, w, m, n, or x.
- If optional R follows a C onset, C must be an obstruent.
- If optional S precedes a C coda, C must be an obstruent.
- All vowels must be separated by a C.
