Boreanesian phonotactics does *not* provide for instances where vowels would be right next to each other. The underlying forms of Boreanesian morphemes are: C CVC CCVC CCCVC So problems of discussing hiatus or epenthetic consonants between contiguous vowels never arise. On the other hand, though, there are many rules regarding epenthetic vowels between contiguous consonants. There might also be something called hiatus of contiguous consonants in Boreanesian (but I have never heard the term used that way before). Anyways, the morpho-phonemic rules regarding these contiguous consonants in Boreanesian cannot be ignored. -kristian- 8)
