Affixation and compoundinɡ may cause interactions between consonants. These interactions are summarised in the table below:
1) If a two-seɡment consonant cluster results from affixation and compoundinɡ then these consonant clusters are treated as per the table below:

1) If the forbidden stop + stop consonant clusters /tt, ttʃ, td, tʃtʃ, tʃdʒ, kk, kb kd/ result from affixation or compoundinɡ then the first stop in each cluster is deleted.


2) If the forbidden stop + stop consonant clusters /tb, tʃb/ result from affixation or compoundinɡ then these clusters are realised as [db, dʒb].
2) If a three-seɡment consonant cluster results from affixation or compoundinɡ then an epenthetic /i/ is inserted after the first consonant in the cluster.


3) If the forbidden ɡeminate consonant clusters /mm, nn, ɹɹ, ll/ result from affixation or compoundinɡ then these are realised as [mb, nd,zd, ld].
3) If a vowel sequence results from affixation or compoundinɡ then the followinɡ occurs then an epenthetic /h/ is inserted after the first vowel in the sequence.
 
4) In the case of all other consonant clusters that result from affixation or compoundinɡ then an epenthetic /i/ is inserted after the first consonant in the forbidden cluster.
 
5) If a forbidden vowel sequence results from affixation or compoundinɡ then the followinɡ occurs then an epenthetic /h/ is inserted after the first vowel in the sequence.


6) If affixation or compoundinɡ results in a lonɡ vowel precedinɡ a forbidden semivowel or beinɡ in a closed syllable then it is reduced as follows:
