Syllable Structure(C)(V₁)V(V₂)(C₁), where V₁ can be one of [i̯ e̯ o̯ u̯], V₂ is either [i̯] or [u̯], and C₁ is a liquid, a nasal or a plosive [p t k m n ŋ ʰp ʰt ʰk r l], or [h].
A word shall always start and end with a phonemic consonant. an epethentic /ʔ/ is added word-initially and word-finally after high-tone vowels, and an epethentic /h/ is added word-finally after low-tone vowels if that is not the case.
Stress informationAlthough mostly word-initial (and fixed word-initial in some dialects) stress is phonemic, and written with a double consonant unless word-initial, where it is not indicated. Stressed syllables have their rimes lengthened: if there's a coda, it is geminated (in preaspirated consonants it's the closure, not the aspiration that lengthens: [ˈpiʰt:]), and if the stressed syllable is light, the vowel lengthens. Open stressed syllables [ˈpi:] with low tone are immune to vowel devoicing just like high toned syllables [pít], however closed low-tone stressed syllables are not [ˈpi̥t:]. Stressed high tone vowels surface a purely phonetic falling tone [ˈpît:] which does not trigger downstepping in the following syllable: as such, that is the only environment in which two high toned syllables can appear side by side /ˈpítðá/ [ˈpît:ðá].
