The syllable structure in Lasat Der is CV(C(C)).Any consonant can be at the syllable onset. Since syllable onset is obligatory, [ʔ] is used as a default onset so no syllable can begin with a vowel.No diphtongs are allowed. The only allowed consonant clusters in the coda are sonorant+plosive or glottal+plosive combinations.
