====Syllabicization==== | |||
Liquids (''r, l''), nasals (''n, m''), and glides (''y, w'') have syllabic counterparts that replace them when required by phonotactics. | |||

<!--If two consonants of the same class (i.e. two liquids, two nasals, or two glides) are present--> | |||
If none of these consonants are present, a schwa (''-ə-'') is inserted. | |||
Alternatively, the offending consonant cluster may be simplified through phonetic changes, but this is non-productive and has been reversed in most cases. | |||
====Hiatus resolution==== | |||
When hiatus would occur, it is resolved by inserting an epenthetic consonant. This consonant depends on the vowels. | |||
