C is a consonant or affricate V is a vowel N is a nasal or liquid

These are the possible affricates: /ts, dz, dʒ, tθ, bv, pf/

Vowels
Status: Completed / In the works
Our vowels are /i, u, a, y, e/ and /o/.
All vowels are pronounced separately. E.g., "Naeso" is syllabized as /na.'e.so/.
One vowel cluster is allowed in a single root word or affix, and any combination of two of Naeso's vowels forms a valid cluster.
Does "any combination of two of Naeso's vowels" mean two different vowels, or also two instances of the same vowel?
1. Two different vowels; sequences like "aa" are disallowed in roots and are broken by liason/simplified (see vote below) if they are formed at morpheme boundaries. - 3/0 - (JH,RJ,FH/0) 2. Doubled vowels are allowed: sequences like "aa" are pronounced /a.a/ as two syllables. - 0/2 - (0/JH,RJ) 3. Doubled vowels are allowed: sequences like "aa" are pronounced /a:/ as a long vowel. - 0/3 - (0/JH,RJ,FH)
The restriction on vowel clusters applies only to roots.
I.e., when two or more clusters occur in a compound or derived word, that's OK; they don't get simplified.
If a compound or derived word would have a sequence of three or four vowels (if e.g. the first element ends in a vowel cluster and the second element begins with a vowel or vowel cluster), how is this sequence dealt with?
Liason: insert a consonant after the first or second vowel of a three-vowel sequence or after the second vowel of a four-vowel sequence. (4/0) (JH,FH,BF,RJ/0)
- I think we should use a consonant that isn't already in use. Fenhl
