Some interesting features can
be found if the C1C2
clusters occurring in the intervocal positions are compared with
reference to the different classes of consonants that from clusters in
either of these positions. The most revealing feature of such a
comparison is that the liquids (i.e., r, l), bilabial and dental
nasals whether they occur in C1 orC2c
position have the maximum privilege of occurrence. And the class of
consonants with which they occur are also nearly the same in both the
positions. Conversely y in C1 position occurs
with 14 other consonants but in C2 position it
occurs only with 4 stops. In other words, y does not follow nasals,
liquids and fricatives, the classes of consonants which it could
precede. Similarly, the velar nasals that could precede nine
consonants including different stops liquids and the dental fricative
can follow only y. When compared with their occurrence in C2
position, the stops in C1 position occur
