Phonotactics
All syllables are of the form CV(nasal). V is any vowel, and C is any consonant or h (pronounced as in IPA). Note that all consonants except w can be geminated or palatalised (but not both at once). e following a palatalised consonant is pronounced as IPA i. Note that the CV combinations tu, wo and wu are not permitted.
