The maximum syllable structure is ClVC, where only stops can precede /l/. The nasalized approximants are actually due to assimilation of a nasal and approximant, and thus they can never begin a word; for example, [l̃] can be analyzed as /nl/. The only syllable-final consonant allowed next to another consonant is /n/, which assimilates to the following consonant. All sonorants (/j/, /l/, /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /ʁ/, /ʋ/), however, can end a word. | The maximum syllable structure is ClVC, where only stops can precede /l/.
