Tairezazh: (C)(C)(C)(C)V(V)(C)(C)(C)(C)

Yeah, Tairezazh syllables can get pretty hairy. There are some restrictions on
which consonants can occur where, but they're not easily captured in a formula.
Nasals and liquids can only occur next to a vowel. I guess I could write
(O)(O)(O)(C)V(V)(C)(O)(O)(O) with O for obstruent. Even longer initial clusters
may sporadically occur, but my lexicon doesn't seem to have any examples.

Vocalic length is contrastive for non-high vowels before single-consonant codas.

Meghean: (C)(L)(Y)V(V)(C)

L = /L/ or /r/, Y = /j/ or /w/. The initial (C) must be an obstruent (excluding
/h/ and the nasal fricatives) or null if (L) is present. Some Cj sequences
phonetically merge into single consonants, eg. /sj/ -> [S].
