Phonology
Vowels
Consonants
j / jh - stressed / unstressed
Prosody
Stress is always on the last heavy syllable. In some dialects, there are both light and heavy codas—e.g. -s and -n in Anantea following a short vowel are light—but in standard Eileci, there are not, and all syllables with a coda are considered heavy.
