===Palatalization===
{{Shortcut|whyti}}
The syllable {{tp|*ti}} is disallowed because of {{wp|Palatalization (sound change)|palatalization}}, a common sound change that has occurred in many languages. An English example is the suffix "-tion", as in "motion". The previous phonemes {{IPA|/ti/}} have been palatalized to {{IPA|/ʃ/}}, so it sounds like "-sion" as in "mission". For the same reason, {{tp|*ti}} is changed to {{tp|si}}.
