The Kallestiyes uses the following syllabic structure: ''(C)(C)V(C)(C)'' with ''C'' for consonants and ''V'' for vowels. The onset can be all the consonants previously shown, the nucleus is made with any vowels and the coda must be a consonant as well but not [h] and [ʔ]


=== Phonotactics ===
As a reminder, in the Kallestiyes sylabic structure, the first (C)(C) is optionnal and is the onset, V is the nucleus and must present and the last (C)(C) is the coda which is also optionnal.


* Syllabic Structure : (C)(C)V(V)C(C)
=== Onset Combinations ===
* The onset are: all the consonants; Nucleus: all the vowels; Coda: all except [j], [ʍ], [w]
{| class="wikitable"
* Cluster coda are the usual simple clusters as : [ks], [sk], [gz], [ks], [ts], [st], [ŋg]. [w] is allowed before [n], [k] and [s]
|+
* ll [l] - tt [t] - gg [g] - nn [n] - mm [m]
