Caerimoscnë's phonology involves many morphophonological processes that can be seen ~~when words are affixed~~. ~~In some cases~~, certain consonant phonemes pattern differently to their phonetic pronunciation ~~when looking at these processes~~.

Caerimoscnë's phonology involves many morphophonological processes that can be seen to occur at morpheme boundaries upon affixation. When looking at these processes, certain consonant phonemes in some cases pattern differently to their phonetic pronunciation.

The following is a table showing the consonants of Caerimoscnë as they are pronounced.

~~All consonants apart from /w/, /j/, /ɾ/, /h/, and the voiceless resonants are able to be geminated, though this may be better analyzed as a sequence of two of the same consonant.~~

~~As shown in~~ the ~~table, the phoneme /ʍ/ in fact patterns as the voiceless counterpart to /m/, and /q/ patterns as the dorsal affricate.~~

Note: for the "tone-causing" obstruents, refer to the section on Tone.

~~The term~~ "tone-causing" ~~when discussing Caerimoscnë refers to consonants which give a high tone to a preceding vowel. They pattern as separate phonemes, or perhaps diaphonemes~~, ~~since they are pronounced identically~~ to ~~their non-tone-causing equivalents in all contexts~~.

This table also shows the patterning between plain and palatalized coronal ~~consonants, which forms the basis of Caerimoscnë's highly pervasive palatalization process~~.

As shown in the table, the phoneme /ʍ/ in fact patterns as the voiceless counterpart to /m/, and /q/ patterns as the dorsal affricate. This table also shows the patterning between plain and palatalized equivalences for the coronal series.

All ~~vowels also have long equivalents~~.

=== Phonotactics ===

Caerimoscnë's syllable structure allows for large consonant clusters, including those which violate the sonority hierarchy, e.g. (SCRIPT HERE) /fθfɾweː/ "to blow a dandelion".

All consonants apart from /w/, /j/, /ɾ/, /h/, and the voiceless resonants are able to be geminated, though this may be better analyzed as a sequence of two of the same consonant, rather than separate phonemes.

=== Tone ===

Caerimoscnë is a tonal language, distinguishing two tones, a lower and a higher tone. The lower is far more common than the higher, and can be analyzed rather as the absence of tone.
