In the above table, C represents a consonant, V a verb and L represents a lenitioned consonant when possible. Finally, bracketed letters are dropped. | |||

Lenition in these occurs in non-initial [and occaisionally initial] consonants due to historic merging and thus cannot necessarily be predicted. | |||
Exceptions occur rarely due to independant consonant vowels, where CVC-V-CVC structure can occur. This is rare however. Further exceptions may occur due to common endings such as "én", "on" or "an" which serve more as suffixes and thus do not interfere with syllable structure. | Exceptions occur rarely due to independant consonant vowels, where CVC-V-CVC structure can occur.
