 Each of the eleven primary vowels is associated with a single consonant and vice versa. These pairs are relevant for ''inversions'' and ''conversions'' in trisyllabic word-clauses, such as the noun '''k_j_m_''' ('the dog') which converts to the verb '''_uu_o_i''' ('be a dog').

 All trisyllabic lemmas are composed of three of the resulting syllables. For example '''''jotaale''''' is allowable as a lemma whereas '''''jitaale''''' is not because '''j''' and '''i''' are not a pair.
-Secondary vowels are not associated with any particular consonant and only appear in clitics and naming prefixes. These prefixes are always unstressed.
