I forgot to include that the "regular" consonants (the ones above), may
combine syllable-initially in a number of ways, e.g. ...

st zd ts dz nd nz zn ndz

The sequences CN are illegal sequences, but that's about the only
limitation.

"Compound"s like that MUST be homorganic to be valid. In the native writing
system, compounds are written using special combining forms of the normal
glyphs.
