 Nearly all lemmata are composed of three of the resulting syllables. For example '''''jotaale''''' is allowable as a lemma whereas '''''jitaale''''' is not because ''ji'' is not a lemma syllable.
-The remaining vowels, the diphthongs beginning with /u/ and /i/ have no associations and are only found in affixes and clitics, which may begin with any consonant.
+The following short diphthongs are only found in long roots. The following pairs alternate with each other, occurring in prefixes on nouns and suffixes on verbs.

+| ue || io

+|}
+Additionally, the long rising diphthongs /iaː ioː iuː uaː ueː uiː/ appear only in clitics and have no pattern of alteration.
