The syllable structure was a strict (C)(G)V, where C denotes a consonant, G one of the non-syllabic vowels {{IPA|/a̯/}}, {{IPA|/i̯/}} and {{IPA|/u̯/}} and V a vowel.
The syllable structure was a strict (C)(G)V, where C denotes a consonant, G one of the non-syllabic vowels {{IPA|/a̯/}}, {{IPA|/i̯/}} and {{IPA|/u̯/}} and V a vowel.
Every word had exactly one unpredictably stressed syllable.
Every word had exactly one unpredictably stressed syllable with the exception of a couple of stressless clitics.


Most syllables had one of the vowels {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/u/}} and {{IPA|/ə/}}. Syllables containing one of the other mid vowels showed the following ablaut scheme:

'''First stage'''
*Insertion of {{IPA|/ʔ/}} if syllable onset is empty
*Reduction of word-final vowels
**In unstressed final syllables: V → ∅
**In unstressed final syllables with a non-syllabic vowel: (C)i̯V → (C)i, (C)u̯V → (C)u, (C)a̯V → (C)a
**In stressed final syllables: V → a
*Loss of non-syllabic vowels
*Loss of non-syllabic vowels
**As syllable onsets: a̯ → ħ, i̯ → j, u̯ → w
**As syllable onsets: a̯ → ħ, i̯ → j, u̯ → w
**After a consonant before ə: Ca̯ə → Ca, Ci̯ə → Ci, Cu̯ə → Cu
**After a consonant before ə: Ca̯ə → Ca, Ci̯ə → Ci, Cu̯ə → Cu
**After a consonant else: Ca̯V → CəħV, Ci̯V → CəjV, Cu̯V → CəwV
**After a consonant in an unstressed syllable: Ca̯V → CəħV, Ci̯V → CəjV, Cu̯V → CəwV
*Partially loss of word-final vowels
**After a consonant in a stressed syllable: Ca̯V → CVˈħV, Ci̯V → CVˈjV, Cu̯V → CVˈwV
**In unstressed final syllables: V
*Vowel changes
**In stressed final syllables: V → a
**In unstressed syllable: ə → a, i → e, u o, a → a, e → a, o → a, ē → e, ō → o
**Exception:  
**In unstressed syllable: ə → a, i → i, u → u, a → ä, e → e, o → o, ē → i, ō → u
**Exception: Word final a → a (from vowel reduction)
