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").
