*p-less: p becomes glottal stop? | *p-less: p becomes glottal stop? | ||
there could be a rule where every unstressed syllable gets lenited | |||
that would reduce the number of possible initial consonants | |||
and if you couple that with post tonic syncope you could get some crazy phonotactics | |||
like no initial clusters or even initial stops but weird tibetan like clusters in the middle of a word | |||

Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids. Idosian gained /ɹ/ via [[w:Linking and intrusive R#Intrusive R|R-intrusion]], influenced by an [[Old Shalian]] substrate; /ɹ/ may even occur word-initially (coming from words with null initial). | Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids.
