Phonotactics

1 min read · 88 words

Vaekalo has a basic shape of (C)(C)(C)V(C)(C)(C).

Vowels cannot be next to each other, and they have to have a consonant letter in between. e.g. "eni" could be a valid word, but "ei" could not.

The same two consonants cannot be next to each other.

If a word is given an affix and two vowels are touching or two consonants are touching, e.g. bana + ak = banaak "is big", then the word will be edited according to phonotactical rules, e.g. bana + ak = banak "is big".
