"three contiguous vowels are not allowed. They are broken up by inserting either a back or front glide depending on the phonetic environment: leijata (to play) sauveri (shower)"

play has one, two tops. Aspirants are not vowels. -eri is three vowels in a row.

"syllabic consonants are modified by inserting a vowel in front of them: kaluna (gallon) hanteli (handle)"

There's no vowel between n and t.

"words should end in a vowel. The preferred word-final vowel is /i/ but /a/ is also encountered: reimi (frame) kaara (car), heerkatti (haircut), loijari (lawyer)"

car and lawyer already end in a vowel.

"when the word in English begins with two or three consonants, all but the last consonant are dropped before the word is acceptable for Finglish: raikki (strike), touvi (stove), rosseri (grocery)"

Words do not gin with three consonants; r is a vowel. -lysdexia 03:43, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
