====Phonotactics====
In the earliest period the minimal syllable structure was a single vowel. The maximal structure was:
:: sC<sub>1</sub>VC<sub>2</sub>s
* Syllables could begin with any single consonant or ''sp, sk, st''.
* V could be any vowel.
* Syllables could end with single ''l, r, n, s'' or complex ''ls, rs, ns''.
Several early processes changed this situation:
* Initial ''sp, sk, st'' and final ''ps, ks, ts'' became ''z'' [s] while ''s'' was [s̟].
* ''h'' was lost leading to the development of long vowels and diphthongs. This initially appears to have occurred between a non-high vowel and a high vowel, leading to the development of ''ai, au, ei, eu, oi'' which were later monophthongised. After ''lh, nh, rh'' became ''ll, nn, rr''.
* The syllable-final consonants ''l, n, r, s, z'' altered in word-final and pre-consonantal position, becoming ''i, ng, z, sh, s'' in the former and ''u, n, -, i, -'' in the latter.
