-New Karanesa is a (C)(S)V(S) language, where S is an sonorant. However, a syllable cannot have all three slots filled simultaneously; it can only fill two. Generally speaking, syllables with one onset consonant and one coda consonant are more common than syllables with two onset consonants.
+New Karanesa is a (C)(C)V(C) language. Generally speaking, syllables with one onset consonant and one coda consonant are more common than syllables with two onset consonants, which are more common than full syllables. The only onset clusters that can have a coda consonant are any consonant before /j w/ and any plosive after /s z/.
 New Karanesa's only phonemic diphthongs are /{{IPA|aj aw}}/. However, any two vowels can be separated by only a hiatus as long as the second vowel is not [i u]. This phonetically sounds similar to a diphthong.
