The phonotactic constraints for syllable combinations are as follows:

1- A syllable with onset ' must be preceded by an open syllable.
2- A syllable with voiced coda cannot be followed by one with
unvoiced onset, and viceversa.
3- A syllable with sibilant coda (s, c, z, j) cannot be followed
by one that starts with a sibilant.
4. A syllable with coda "x" cannot be followed by one that starts
with "k" or "c", and viceversa.
5. A syllable with coda "m" cannot be followed by one that starts with "z".
6. A syllable with coda "n" cannot be followed by one with onset "tc", "ts",
"dj" or "dz".

One rule I did miss is that a syllable with a coda cannot be followed by
a syllable whose onset begins with that same consonant.
