There is a gradient Ventureño may be described as a «pronominal restriction on homorganic , and within homorganic pairs, there is a gradient restriction on argument language»: nominals usually have the major class and manner features.

Another is the occurrence of uvular-uvular and velar-velar pairs of consonants, which also Ventureño verbs can exhibit a considerable occur at rates higher than chance. This pattern is somewhat surprising, as there exists an overall degree of intricacy. The language has an gradient prohibition on cooccurring pairs of dorsal consonants.
