Notes

  1. The syllabic semivowels (short vowels) are allophonic to their non-syllabic consonantal counterparts.
  2. The syllabic laryngeals are allophonic to their non-syllabic consonantal counterparts.
  3. The syllabic liquids and nasals are allophonic to their non-syllabic consonantal counterparts.
