Proto-Tassinean follows Agin's law, which is a phonotactic law focusing primarily on Tassinean languages. It states that though consonants can be placed in an adjacent manner, they can not be of the same category of consonant. e.g. the word ''*mäkpah'' was rejected as an ancestor of [[Adi Adi]] ''meqipah'' and [[Siwè]] ''mịkịpe'' due to it violating the law by putting *k adjacent to *p. The word ''*mäkuph'' was later chosen as a more accurate ancestor, taking into account other cognates like Proto-Inian ''*mäk-upH''. | Proto-Tassinean follows Agin's law, which is a phonotactic law focusing primarily on Tassinean languages.
