Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
- J9 ]- T+ v A* _Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
4 Y" {1 o" V* w0 q0 j+ _! Y4 p1 dsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
