Syllable StructureThe root syllable structure is generally regarded as being CVC-. However, complex consonant clusters may occur on both onset and coda, specially in derived words, inflected forms and compounding. The nucleus can be made up of a short vowel, a diphthong, a long vowel, or even a diphthong and glide.
In short:
Root is CVC-
Stems are CVCV
Complex words are ωνκ where
ω = (C)(C)(C)
ν = (V)V(V̯)
κ = (C)(C)
