1.2 Phonotactics

Syllable structure is strictly CV (where V can be a short vowel, a long vowel, or a diphthong). Syllables without onsets are not allowed, and codas are not allowed. Stress falls on the rightmost syllable that is either a diphthong or a long vowel; if the word consists of only short vowels, the stress is on the first syllable..
