Syllable StructureLight: V, VC, CV(V) - e.g: à, èm, tso, pèì;
Medium: CV(V)C(₂) - e.g: san, màar, tsin;
Heavy: CWV, CWVC(₂) - e.g: swo, tyò; swùk, svigà, skar, nwer;
V = any vowel;
C = Any consonant;
C₂ = "n, r, j, w" - syllable boundary only - e.g: kantsu, tera;
W = semivowels, only allowed when C is "n, t, k, or s"; k and f too, only if C is "s" - e.g: swo, nwer, ska, svek, twen, syòn;
Extra on syllable transformation:
• when at syllable boundary, what would be a consonant geminate, is understood as a single element:
- nannèn (sky-blue) → nanèn, "sky blue";
- àrrena (make-front) → àrena, "to defend a position, to stand and hold something;
• similar sounds are forbidden to happen close to each other (nasal next to nasal, stop next to stop, etc), and the sound in the stronger syllable is kept, the other is assimilated:
- skètkog (chain-claw) → skètog, "lock" - CWV is a heavy syllable, and is stronger;
- idìmnga (battle-die)→ idìnga (duel) - no heavy syllable, only 3 syllables, last syllable is stronger;

Stress information- Standard is always ultimate;
- For words longer than 3 syllables, it's penultimate;
- Heavy syllables are always stressed, regardless of where in the word they appear;
For *really* long words, the stress is confined to the stem, as to not end up highlighting only grammatical morphemes;
