==== Syllable Structure ====
[[Syllable]]s typically have a CV, VC, V or CVC structure with VC only occurring in initial syllables. Final and initial CC occur only in a few specific examples such as {{lang|kcn|skul}} which means ''"school"'' or {{lang|kcn|sems}} which means ''"sun"''.<ref name=":0" />

[[Stress (linguistics)|Stress]] can change the meaning of words for example {{lang|kcn|saba}} means ''"seven"'' or ''"morning"'' depending on whether the stress is on the first or second syllables respectively. Vowels are often omitted in unstressed, final syllables and sometime even the stressed final ''"u"'' in the passive form may be deleted after ''"m", "n", "l", "f"'' or ''"b".'' This can cause syllables to be realigned even across words.<ref name=":0" />
