    Question

    Thanks once more for the replies!

    @Syllable Structure

    And SS structure works for separate syllables of the word? Like "ga-ba-te-koot"'s SS would be be for each syllable and would look like (C)(V)(V)(C), right?

    @SOV

    So there's really nothing about it (where to place articles etc etc) available? So along with what is told and explained, I can pick where to place what it doesn't explain....?

    Yeah, you repeat the syllable structure for each syllable.

    One of those vowels isn't going to be optional. Unless your language allows syllables without vowels. Which a few might, though personally I'd prefer a conlang I can pronounce.

    I'd say that's (C)V(C).

    (C)V(C) - (C)V(C) - (C)V(C) - (C)V(C) - (C)V(C).
    ga-ba-te-ko-ot

    Or
    (C)V(C) - (C)V(C) - (C)V(C) - (C)V(C).
    ga-ba-te-koot
    if koot is just a single syllable with a single long vowel.
