Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the question of phonotactic conditions governing the structure of North West Lovari word edges. The problem is analysed within the framework of Government Phonology. Our discussion is intended to shed new light on the aspects of the system that have not been subject to analysis within any non-derivational framework yet. The present study is corpus-based, and the relevant data come from the Romani Morpho-Syntax database (Romani Project).
