Syllables are divided into one of two categories, or weights. These are '''light''' syllables and '''heavy''' syllables. A light syllable contains a maximum of one short vowel, alone or proceeded by a consonant or consonant cluster, while a heavy syllable may contain a long vowel, a coda consonant, or both. If the penult of a word is heavy, it is stressed. If not, the antipenult is stressed. | Syllables are divided into one of two categories, or weights.

===Word order=== | |||
For the most part, Aeranir independent clauses are verb initial, meaning that the verb comes first and is followed by nominal arguments, although the order of these are flexible, and can theoretically appear in any order, although order may be used pragmatically to invoke emphasis or topic (see below). However, dependant clauses, including nonfinite clauses, are always verb-final. | |||
