Syllables in Balog are maximally CSVC, where C represents a consonant, S semivowel /w/ or /j/ and V a vowel. Syllables with a CS onset are rather rare. | |||
Consonant clusters other than those in which the second element is a semivowel do not occur within a morpheme or even within a clause, meaning that the appearance of such a consonant cluster reliably indicates a clause boundary. | |||
Any consonant may appear initially or medially in a morpheme. Ejective consonants cannot appear at the end of a morpheme. The plain voiceless stops and affricates are sometimes allophonically ejectivised at the end of an utterance. | |||
