Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
, H3 o; t' Q2 ]/ Y( C% B2 PInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
3 m7 y# p, R/ w7 csyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; \: M4 Z% |7 g3 U( K
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).1 n" L L8 k" P6 ~& h" T
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving4 l7 k- Q- D5 I- Y6 ~# t& U
retroflex suffixes are not counted). As a result of these very severe restrictions on
