====Epenthetic consonants==== | |||
When a word ending in a vowel is followed by a word beginning in a vowel, an epenthetic consonant is usually inserted. | |||
In the case of nouns and adjectives, the consonant used is ''-n''. | |||
Pronouns and particles can have varying epenthetic consonants (usually ''-n'' or ''-d''), which must be memorized. | |||
====Syntactic gemination==== | |||
Certain pronouns and particles cause the first consonant of a following consonant-initial word to geminate. | |||
In most cases, these are the same words that add an epenthetic consonant besides ''-n'' when the following word begins in a vowel. | |||
