The maximal syllable structure was CLVC, where C represents any consonant, L represents either ''l'' or ''r'' (possibly always /ɾ/ in this position) and V either a long or short vowel. Consonant clusters could occur across syllable boundaries.  
Roots may consist of any of the following structures:
:: CVC
:: CVVC (in which VV is a geminate consonant)
:: C''r''VC
:: CVCVC
 
Prefixes usually end in a vowel though a few consonant-final prefixes do occur. Suffixes frequently begin with consonants, creating consonant clusters across morpheme boundaries.
 
The maximal structure for a syllable is therefore C''r''VCC or CVVCC (e.g. ''heent'' "vision, view").
