Phonology

Syllables take main part in Emyt phonology. Consonants clusters are only allowed at syllables' boundaries (final + initial).

Every Emyt syllable consists of:

  • onset - initial consonant or glottal stop;
  • nucleus - oral (monomoraic) or nasal (dimoraic) vowel;
  • coda (optional) - final consonant.

There are no trimoraic syllables (eg. having nasal vowel and coda, or two final consonants):

  • da [dæ] - oral vowel; open, light syllable;
  • [dæɨ̯̃] - nasal vowel; open, heavy syllable;
  • dak [dæ̆k] - oral vowel; closed, heavy syllable.
