Phonotactics
M-Clofabylin phonotactics are really simple: monosyllables may be CV or (if not glottalized) CVC. Disyllables are CVCV or, again if not glottalized, CVCVC.
So for example "zu-mâb" and "zu-mä" are allowed but "zu-mäb" isn't.
Syllables may also begin with consonant clusters though only some clusters are allowed [list].
