However,
all consonants occurring as first member of the cluster do not occur
with all consonants of the second group. Combinations of possible
consonants occurring as first and second members are given below
1.
p + 1 = pl
2.
ph + y = ph y
3.
t
+ y = ty
4.
th + y = th y
5.
k + v = kv
k + y = ky
6.
kh + y = kh y
7.
m + p = mp
8.
m + ph = mph
9.
m + y = my
10.
n
+ t = nt
n + th = nth
n + ts = nts
n
+ tsh = ntsh
n
+ ch = nch
n + s = ns
n
+ z = nz
n + sá
= nsáá
n
+ m = nm
n + mh = nmh
n + l = nl
n
+ r = nr
11.
nh + r = nh r
12.
+ k = k
13.
+ kh = kh
14.
sáá
+ y = sááy
15.
h + r = hr
16.
h
+ w = hw.
From the above list it becomes clear that the maximum number
of combinations of consonants as second member of cluster
are with ‘n’.
The
distribution of initial two consonant clusters is shown in the following
table.
