*All syllables must have a nucleus, but onsets and codas are not required. Syllables in the same word must have either a coda or an onset dividing them (i.e. two syllable nuclei must be separated by at least one consonant.) | |||
*Word onsets may consist of a single consonant, or a stop consonant followed by a liquid. | |||
**p, t, k, b, d, g, q, j, c, m, n, v, l, z, r, s, x, h | |||
**pr, tr, kr, br, dr, gr, pl, tl, kl, bl, dl, gl, pz, tz, kz, bz, dz, gz | |||
*Word codas may consist only of a single consonant; voiced stops, ‹j›, and ‹h› are not permitted as codas. | |||
**p, t, k, q, c, m, n, v, l, z, r, s, x | |||
*Intersyllabic consonant clusters may be: | |||
**C (any single consonant) | |||
***p, t, k, b, d, g, q, j, c, m, n, v, l, z, r, s, x, h | |||
**C[-cnt]C[+liq] (any stop + liquid) | |||
***pr, pl, pz, tr, tl, tz, kr, kl, kz, br, bl, bz, dr, dl, dz, gr, gl, gz | |||
**C[-cnt]ː (any geminate stop) | |||
***pp, tt, kk, bb, dd, gg | |||
**C[+nas]ː (any geminate nasal) | |||

====Liquid Harmony==== | |||
*(Still working this out...) | |||
====Vowel Reduction in Unstressed Syllables==== | |||
* Unstressed vowels are reduced to a single mora: | |||
*Vowels with secondary stress are reduced by one mora: | |||
**E.g. ā́dlāƛū̀ip → ādlaƛūp | |||
