Proto-Low Formatian language

Phonotactics
Syllable structure is mostly CV, but can also be CVC where Proto-Formatian */ə/ was lost. The majority of roots are bisyllabic, but a few are instead monosyllabic or trisyllabic.

Stress
Stress is mainly penultimate. CVC syllables and syllables containing the vowels /e o/ are always stressed.
