+Dlav roots distinguish three main classes of consonants, arranged from high to low sonority:
+# Non-palatal sonorants: /m n ŋ w l r/, denoted as N
+# Palatal sonorants: /ɲ j ʎ/, denoted as J
+# Obstruents, denoted as C. These include five subgroups:
+#* Plosives, except ejectives, denoted as P.
+#* Ejectives, denoted as E.
+#* The affricates /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/, denoted as Z.
+#* The sibilants /s z ʃ ʒ ɕ ʑ/, denoted as S.
+#* The non-sibilants /f v χ h/, denoted as H.
+The follow rules are applied:
+# Onset and coda always have a consonant, ranging from C to CCC.
+# The consonant closer to the main howel always have the higher sonority.
+# Only one member of each sonority group (and its subgroups, if C) appear in the onset or coda.
+A good example is the name of the language itself, [[Dlav|Dlàv]], which is organised as CCVC, namely PNVH (analysed as PNV-H)
