| primary vowel || || || The primary vowels are the short vowels /a e i o u/ ⟨'''a e i o u'''⟩, the long vowels /aː eː iː oː uː/ ⟨'''aa ee ii oo uu'''⟩ and the diphthong /ai/ ⟨'''ai'''⟩. Primary vowels can occur in trisyllabics whereas secondary vowels cannot. Each primary vowel is associated with one consonant, with which it alternates in conversion from a verb root to its equivalent noun root. | |||

| trisyllabic || || || A '''trisyllabic''' is a word consisting of three syllables, each of which is made up of a consonant phoneme and a ''primary vowel'' phoneme. Trisyllabics represent a full clause consisting of a ''triconsonantal noun root'' and a ''trivocallic verb root''. For example, the trisyllabic '''''neemani''''' "I eat" consists of the noun root '''n_m_n_''' "I" plus the verb root '''_ee_a_i''' "eat". | |||
