Although there are several diphothongs, such as ''ei'' [eɪ] or ''au'' [ɑʊ], they are not considered to be separate phonemes, since they typically occur in morphologically predicted environments. The resonant [r] can function as a syllabic core, although word-initially it is often devoiced – ''ŕti'' [ˈr̩˥.t̪i꜉] “it appears” or “it seems”, but ''rthe'' [r̥t̪ʰe̞˧] or [r̥ə.ˈt̪ʰe̞˧]. | Although there are several diphothongs, such as ''ei'' [eɪ] or ''au'' [ɑʊ], they are not considered to be separate phonemes, since they typically occur in morphologically predicted environments.
