Comments: Initial clusters are resticted to borrowings and onomatopoeia. /ʃ/ and /f/ are only found in borrowings. Palatalization is stronger in the initial part of the consonants. Half-long, long and overlong vowels and consonants might be treated either as biphonemic sequences or prosodically depending on the analysis.
