| The maximal syllable structure is CCVCC, 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. | | The maximal syllable structure is (s)CCVCC, 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. |
| | |
| Permitted initial CC- clusters:
| |
| *[any obstruent except ''v''] + {''l'', ''r''}
| |
| *''cm, cn, tm, tn''
| |
| *[non-labial obstruent] + {''v'', ''m''}
| |
| *''m'' + {''l'', ''r'', ''n''}
| |
| | |
| Permitted medial clusters are, roughly, those which begin like final clusters, may or may not have an "intersection" segment and end like initial clusters.
| |
| | |
| Permitted -CC- clusters (of these only geminates and clusters ending in non-radical obstruents are permissible as final -CC):
| |
| *The following geminates: ''cc'', ''cch'', ''ff'', ''ll'', ''mm'', ''nn'', ''pp'', ''rr'', ''ss'', ''tt'', ''tth''
| |
| *''bl, br''
| |

| Permitted clusters can be organized as follows:
| |
| *Terminating in ''-t'':
| |
| **''cht'' < {*p, *b, *f, *ƛ, *ł, *k, *g, *x} + t
| |
| **''ħt'' < {*q, *ʁ, *χ} + t
| |
| **''lt'' < {*l} + t
| |
| **''nt'' < {*m, *n} + t
| |
| **''rt'' < {*r} + t
| |
| **''st'' < {*s, *z} + t
