There are heaps of consonant cluster that should be possible in Tairezazh,
but at least as yet don't occur (the lexicon isn't very large). Exmaples
include initial vg-, dzhv-, shtsh-, dzl-  and stshr-! Initial clusters that
are attested includes such cutities as fk- (masc name _Fkaz_), tsf-
(_tsfail_ "ten thousand") and dzhd- (_dzhdad_ "tall").
