== Syllable Structure ==
All words consist of alternating consonants and vowels (in other words, all syllables are open, except the final syllable in a word, which may be closed). There are two exceptions:
* A homorganic nasal may occur before a stop intervocalically
* Two (but no more than two) vowels may occur in sequence with no (apparent) consonant separating them
There are complex sandhi rules to prevent grammatically-caused, otherwise-illegal vowel and consonant clusters.
