The results showed that out of 200 inBM Swadesh vocabulary found as many as 56 or 28% said syllable pattern V and as many as 199 or 99.5%patterned silabe KV. Furthermore, the rules fonotatik words with vowels with vowels with 14 words or around56% collocation of V-V and not found as much as 11 or 44%; collocation of vowel-consonant there are 91 orabout 73% and is not found as many as 34 or 27% collocation of V-K; and consonants collocation with vowelsare 102 or as much as 82% collocation of K-V and not found as much as 23 or 18%.
