	===Syllable Shape===		===Syllable Shape===
	Syllables are (C)V(C). ~~However, CVC only appears word finally~~ (~~except in loanwords~~).		Syllables are (C)V(C).

			===Syllable Weight===

			Syllables can either be light or heavy.

			(C)V syllables are:
			* ...light when V is a monopthong of medium length.
			* ...heavy when V is a long vowel or a diphthong.

			(C)VC syllables are:
			* ...light if the nucleus is '' ' ''.
			* ...heavy otherwise.

	===Consonant Rules===		===Consonant Rules===
	* '' ' '' only appears word-medially, between two consonants (as a syllable nucleus, where it is pronounced as the vowel /ə/) or between two vowels (as an onset, where it is pronounced /ʔ/).
	* Intervocalic obstruents are voiced (and are written as such). The only exception is in loanwords.

	====Consonant Clusters====		====Consonant Clusters====
	* Consonant clusters only ~~occur in loanwords and even then never~~ occur word ~~finally.~~		* Consonant clusters only occur word-medial.
	* Word-medial ~~consonant clusters are always modified so that all consonants are voiced~~.		* In morphological operations, if consonant clusters are created of different voice quality, the second consonant takes on the voice of the first.
	* In morphological operations, if consonant clusters are created, ~~'' ' '' is inserted to break up~~ the ~~cluster~~.

	===Vowel Rules===		===Vowel Rules===
	* Vowel hiatus is not allowed between identical monophthong vowels - '' ' '' is inserted. Word-medially this is written. Across word ~~boundries~~, the sound is often inserted, but never written~~. Vowel hiatus ''is'' allowed between identical diphthongs~~.		* Vowel hiatus is not allowed between identical monophthong vowels - '' ' '' is inserted. Word-medially this is written. Across word boundaries, the sound is often inserted, but never written.
	* In terms of vowel hiatus, a diphthong ~~followed~~ by a monophthong that is identical to the ~~final~~ sound of the diphthong counts as an identical vowel.		* In terms of vowel hiatus, a diphthong adjacent by a monophthong that is identical to the closest sound of the diphthong counts as an identical vowel for the previous rule. For example: ''a'' followed by ''ai'' will have a '' ' '' inserted between them: ''a'ai''. So would the sequence of ''ya'' and ''a'': ''ya'a''.
	* In morphological operations, if identical vowels are put in sequence, '' ' '' is inserted ~~to break up~~ the ~~hiatus~~.		* '' ' '' as a vowel never appears in a stressed syllable.
	* '' ' '' never appears in a stressed syllable.
			===Misc. Rules===
			* '' ' '' only appears word-medially, between two consonants (as a syllable nucleus, where it is pronounced as the vowel /ə/) or between two vowels (as an onset, where it is pronounced /ʔ/).

	===Stress===		===Prosody===
	Stress is lexical, and does not shift due to morphological operations.		====Stress====
			Stress is lexical, and does not shift due to morphological operations. ''Ed. note: this feature may change as the conlang is developed''.

	===~~Diphthong Reduplication~~===		====Prosodic Foot====
	~~When reduplication of~~ a ~~vowel is called for~~ by a ~~morphological operation~~, ~~only~~ the ~~main vowel is reduplicated~~, ~~not the semi-vowel~~.		The primary prosodic foot is an iamb, that is, a light syllable followed by a heavy one. This has implications for word shapes:
			* In multisyllable words that are derived, inflected, and/or compounded, the word will end in a complete prosodic foot. Morphological operations will include adapting elements that ensure the shape.
			* Words that are bare stems (unaffixed, uncompounded, etc.) can end in any type of syllable.
