== Total count ==
There are 21 consonants and 72 endings (see [[Phonology]]). Nineteen of these combinations start with the banned sequence {{t|nhı}}: there's three {{t|nhı(q/m)}}, twelve {{t|nhıV(q/m)}} and four {{t|nhıaı nhıao nhıeı nhıoı}}. Similarly, 19 combinations start with {{t|ꝡı}} and 19 start with {{t|ꝡu}}.
In total, that means there are (21 × 72) − 19 − 19 − 19 = 1455 valid raku.
