  • [æ] and [a] are in free variation.
  • Vowels occur in the usual high tone and a phonemically distinct low tone. /ə/ is toneless and usually pronounced on the same tone as the high-tone vowels.

Syllable structure

The structure of Ęndehl syllables can be described in pseudo-awkwords-code as:

(C(L))V(s/l/N)

with the following parameters:

  • C=any consonant, or any of the affricates [ts/kx]
  • L=l/ɹ/ʁ
  • N=m/n/ŋ
  • V=any vowel
