===Syllable structure=== | |||
A cluster cannot exceed two consonants and must be of one of the following configurations: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
| CC | |||
| Both consonants are the same | |||
|- | |||
| FP | |||
| Fricative followed by plosive | |||
|- | |||
| NP | |||
| Nasal followed by plosive | |||
|- | |||
| PN~FN | |||
| Plosive or fricative followed by nasal | |||
|} | |||
Prefixes are always unstressed. Following the last stressed syllable an iambic pattern of secondary stress on every other underlyingly light syllable follows unless an underlyingly heavy syllable intervenes. In addition, unless at the end of a word, stressed syllables are forced to be heavy either by lengthening of the vowel or reduplication of the next syllable's onset consonant if they are not already underlyingly so. | |||
