        <ul>
          <li>a single, possibly adorned consonant stack</li>

          <li>two consonant stacks where one is a single,

              a suffix if it is last) and the other is possibly
              adorned</li>

          <li>three consonant stacks where at most one has adornment.
              If the second has adornment, then the first must be an
              unadorned prefix consonant and the last must be an
              unadorned suffix consonant.  If the first has adornment,
              then the second must be an unadorned suffix consonant
              and the third must be an unadorned secondary suffix
              consonant.</li>

          <li>four consonant stacks where either none is adorned or
              only the second consonant stack is adorned, the first is
              an unadorned prefix consonant, the third is an unadorned
              suffix consonant, and the fourth is an unadorned
              secondary suffix consonant.</li>

        </ul>
        
        <p>When there are three unadorned consonant stacks in a
           tyllable, a hard-coded list of valid Tibetan tsheg bars is
