Phonotactics
1. Syllable structure CCVʔVCC
C = consonant V = all vowels and dipthongs ʔ = glottal stop
2. Glottal stops can only occur between vowels
3. [x] and [ʔ] never cluster.
4. [i] can be nasalised if it is followed by [ŋ]. [ɒ],[æ] are nasalised sometimes if followed by a nasal consonant.
5. Only plosives and nasals germinate and germination is fairly rare.
