Proto-Tassinean follows Agin's law, which is a phonotactic law focusing primarily on Tassinean languages. It states that though consonants can be placed in an adjacent manner, they can not be of the same category of consonant. e.g. the word ''*mäkpah'' was rejected as an ancestor of [[Adi Adi]] ''meqipah'' and [[Siwè]] ''mịkịpe'' due to it violating the law by putting *k adjacent to *p. The word ''*mäkuph'' was later chosen as a more accurate ancestor, taking into account other cognates like Proto-Inian ''*mäk-upH''. | Proto-Tassinean follows Agin's law, which is a phonotactic law focusing primarily on Tassinean languages.

====Noun-adjective order==== | ====Noun-adjective order==== | ||
Noun-adjective order is even more controversial, due to even linguistically similar languages like [[Siwè]] and [[Adi Adi]] differing on specifically adjective placement. Thus, Tassinists generally agree to not speak of noun-adjective order, assuming instead a free constituent order, for the sake of collaboration and often friendship. | Noun-adjective order is even more controversial, due to even linguistically similar languages like [[Siwè]] and [[Adi Adi]] differing on specifically adjective placement.
