 The common syllable structure in Ravna is CV(C).
 
-The final consonants cannot be glottal.  Glottal stop can only occurs
-word-initial, which means it's omitted in compound word or if the word is

 ## Other constraints
 
 The vowel /ɨ/ can only occur where the syllable constraint forbid it to

 Final consonants are devoiced, unless there is no voiceless equivalent for the

+Glottal stop /ʔ/ also disappears when a compound/suffixed word forms with two
