Syllable StructureSyllable structure is very complex, maximum syllable allowed is CCCCVCCCC, and roughly follows a sonority hierarchy, however plosives and fricatives may be swapped, and nasals can only come after fricatives.
Possible consonant clusters:
initial: sm, sn, sŋ, sŋʷ, sp, st, sk, skʷ, sv, sʟ, sx, sxm, xn, xŋ, xŋʷ, sɹ, vs, vx, xp, xt, xk, xkʷ, xv, xs, ps, ts, ks, mʟ, nʟ, pʟ, tʟ, kʟ, mɹ, ŋɹ, ŋʷɹ, nɹ, pɹ, tɹ, kɹ, kʷɹ
final: ms, ns, ŋs, ŋʷs, ps, ts, ks, kʷs, vs, ʟs, xs, ɹs, ɹx, ʟs, ʟm, ʟn, ʟp, ʟt, ʟk, ʟkʷ, ɹm, ɹn, ɹŋ, ɹŋʷ ɹp, ɹt, ɹk, ɹkʷ
Combinations of 3-4 consonants follow the sonority hierarchy. Essentially any of the initial consonant clusters followed by more sonorant consonants, or any of the final consonant clusters preceded by a less sonorant consonant.
Note that aspirated stops and /h/ cannot occur in clusters.
