=== Vowel Combinations ===
A Vowel combination is mix of 2 vowels. In Kallestiyes Phonology, it is considered as only one vowel.
Here are they : [ai]; [ia]; [ei]; [aːi]; [ea]; [ae]; [aːe]

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 [j], [ʍ] or [w].
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]


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.
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.


There is a rule for the combination of two consonants in a onset and also in a coda.
=== Onset Combinations ===
 
* Coda: The allowed clusters coda that are allowed are : [ks], [sk], [gz], [ts], [st], [ŋg], [ŋk], [wn], [wk], [jn].
 
* Onset: The allowed clusters onset that are allowed are : [kn], [km], [ks], [sk], [gz], [ts], [st], [sn], [sm].
