Lumak syllable structure permits C(r)V(C), where only labial and velar stops may cluster with /r/. Lumak words must begin with a consonant, but initial glottal stops are unwritten in the orthography. The vast majority of native words are monosyllabic or sequisyllabic. Sequisyllables are always Cə, with /ə/ assimilating to [u] after labials and [i] after palatals. Lumak has four diphthongs, /ua oa ia ea/.
