Clusters of three consonants are rere, rather phonetic variations, in which the first element must always be a nasal, followed by homorganic voiced stop, e,g.,

ndr
- sendra
‘hunting’
g
- daga
‘working man’
mb
- kumu
‘act of stealing’

The following chart of total distribution will clearly demonstrate which of the phonemes of Mundari occur in which position, including the consonants, vowels and the pauseconstituting the total environment. This excludes the intervocalic [] and diphthong forming non-sylabic vowels, however, for such cases, the first or second vowel in the sequences given here, may be taken to stand for the non-syllabic counterpart, as scheduled in the section dealing with diphthongs.
