Syllable StructureAll syllables have the nucleus of any vowel (V), there can optionally be an onset of:
(1) any consonant (C) or
(2) any bilabial or labio-dental followed by a non-bilabial trill (Ŕ)
and finally those can be followed optionally by a coda of any consonant except [j]. Thus: (C⊻BŔ)V(C*)

Additionally a syllable with a onset of a glottal stop cannot be preceded by a syllable with a coda consisting of a glottal stop. Thus, (C⊻BŔ)Vʕ.ʕV(C*) is not permitted.

Stress informationStress is not fixed and mostly unpredictable.

OtherNo two syllables with differing vowels of the same height can appear consecutively. So, [i] → [i,ɛ,ʌ], [ɯ] → [ɯ,ʌ,ɛ], [ɛ] → [ɛ,i,ɯ], and [ʌ] → [ʌ,i,ɯ].

Nasal vowel harmony is forward propagating from the root morpheme. So, CVCṼ-CVCV → CVCṼ-CṼCṼ. However, it is blocked by glottal stops [ʔ] and certain suffixes. So, [tivɛ̃-nɛnɯ] → [tivɛ̃-nɛ̃nɯ̃] but [tivɛ̃ʔ-nɛnɯ] would stay the same.
