Wikilret phonology

I'm finally getting around to posting the phonology for my conlang
Wikilret (literally true speak). Hopefully the website will soon
follow.

CONSONANTS
There are 18 consonants. Two have recognized allophones, s & h.
I have not yet come up with a regular way of deciding which
allophone is used. Any ideas?

The consonants are (followed by the CXS representation):
Stops: p /p/, b /b/, t /t/, d /d/, k /k/, g /g/
Fricatives: c /tS/, s /s/ or /S/, f /f/*, h /x/ or /C/, z /z/, j /dZ/
Approximants: l /l/, y /j/, w /w/
Trill: r /r/
Nasals: m /m/, n /n/

* actually not a labiodental, but a dentialabial; a sound articulated
with the lower teeth against the upper lip; ie. upside-down labiodentals
Thanks to Jörg for the terminology.

A rough ordering of the consonants: stops are most common, followed
by fricatives, then nasals and the trill, and finally the approximants.

VOWELS
There are 10 vowels: a /&/, ä /eI/, e /E/, ë /i/, i /I/, ï /aI/, u /V/,
  ü /U/, o /o/, ö /u/.
Rounded vowels are generally rarer than unrounded.
The most common vowels are: a, e, ë, u.
Less common vowels: ä, i, ï
Least common vowels: ü, o, ö


WORDS
Syllables are in the form of CCVC. Any or all of the consonants are
optional. I have yet to define which consonants can “legally” form
consonant clusters within a syllable.

Stress - nouns: second-to-last syllable, others: last syllable

Compound Words - the head word(s) is the modifier, the tail word is
the “base” (as in English); so ranöhkep (literally battleblade) is a
blade for battle (ie, a sword)
