|
|
## Syllable structure
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Syllable structure is CV(C), with the only restriction that #/h/ can't be in a consonant coda.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Allophony
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Obstruents are voiced in between voiced sounds.
|
|||
|
|
- Front vowels become central after retroflex, velar, and uvular consonants.
|
|||
|
|
- Back vowels become central after linguolabial, dental, and palatal consonants.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Pronouns
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First person (singular) is #/n̪es/. Second person (any number) is #/qɑʀ/. Back references (below) are used instead of third person pronouns.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Back references

|
|
|
|||
|
|
The form of adjacent back references alternate between vowel and consonant forms to form a short word. A single one on its own attaches to a dummy #/h/ in its vowel form.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Subscripts in glosses indicate what a given occurrence of a back reference points to.
