The maximal syllable | 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"). | |||
