Line 55:
The vowel phonemes are an abstraction of their allowed ranges: /i/ allows for [e ~ ɪ ~ ɨ], /u/ allows [o ~ ʊ], /æ/ allows [a ~ ɛ ~ ə], and /ɑ/ allows [ɔ].
=== Phonotactics ===
The phonotactic structure is '''CV(m/n/g/s)''', where C is any consonant and V is any vowel. There are no syllabic restrictions akin to [[wuwojiti]] in ''gisi gisi''.
Assimilation occurs at syllable boundaries with nasal codas. Some example nonsense words are in this table to help provide a better picture:
{| class="wikitable"

!Coronal

!Glottal

!Nasal
|ʻama
|ʻana
|ʻaga

|ʻagka
|ʻagʻa
|-
!Fricative
|
|ʻansa
|

!Lateral approximant
|
|ʻanla

|}
At a word boundary, all nasal codas convert to /n/ e.g. ''ʻan''.

== Wordlist ==
The lexicon of ''gisi gisi'' originally started with the premise of making different semantic spaces than those found in {{tp|toki pona}}, but over time developed a secondary goal of focusing on nature. The lexicon is also '''not complete''', and new words are worked on often. Tthe "After ''ka''" entries are just as fluid as other word combinations; the examples given are some more common interpretations.
