The rule for syllable structure is: CV(L), where L is any consonant that does not contain anything in the Stop category, r, or j.
e.g, je-ka-ll is allowed, but je-ka-qL would not be.
However, this rule is broken by a few major words, usually grammatical particles.
The glottal stop is only seen between vowels.


This language is spoken in a harsh whisper, in a breathy, creaky voice. It is slow, and deliberate. Never rushed. Never loud. Steady.
