| A typical Tzaloxian root looks like CV(C(:)S), where C is a consonant; V is one of the 45 vowels; and S is a simple vowel (a, i or u).
| |
|
| |
| The glottal stop can't be geminated.
| |
|
| |
| There is vowel harmony in Tzaloxian; if V ends in ''i'' or ''ï'', S can't be ''u'', and vice versa (S can't be ''i'' if V ends in ''u'' or ''ü''). So for example:
| |
|
| |
| * ''fiüssu'' and ''fiüssa'' are valid words, but *''fiüssi'' isn't;
| |
|
| |
| * ''ciuana'', ''ciuani'' and ''ciuanu'' are all valid words.
