Emphatic consonants are uvularized, as in Arabic. | |||
Aspiration is allophonic in voiceless stops. The Luminese dialect aspirates stops more strongly than in the Rencadic dialect. | |||
====Gemination==== | |||
Every consonant except /w j h/ can occur geminated between vowels. Geminate taps are realized as trills. | |||
Gemination is indicated in the orthography by doubling the consonant letter; geminate ''ng'' and ''NG'' are written ''nng'' and ''NNG'' respectively. | |||

===Phonotactics=== | |||
Only CV syllables are allowed, except: | |||
*a geminate consonant can begin a non-initial syllable | |||
*CVC and CVCː are allowed as the last syllable | |||
===Stress=== | |||
Stress is almost always on the first long syllable, or if no syllable is long, the last syllable in the Rencadic dialect and the first syllable in the Luminese dialect. | |||
