## Syllable structure
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```ebnf
|
|||
|
|
word = {syll}+.
|
|||
|
|
syll = onset, vowel, [coda].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
onset = consonant
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Allophony
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Obstruents are voiced in between voiced sounds.
|
|||
|
|
- Front vowels become central after linguolabial, alveolar, and uvular consonants.
|
|||
|
|
- Back vowels become central after dental and palatal consonants.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<!--
|
|||
|
|
- phrase boundaries marked by tone in some way
|
|||
|
|
- 3-way length distinction?
|
|||
|
|
- stress counting from the beginning of the word
|
|||
|
|
- a weird number base system (mixed base 8/4/...?)
|
|||
|
|
- grammatical metathesis?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ergative, also in word order (XVS / AXVP)
