Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
- L8 x3 _2 N6 p' b4 zInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
' t6 L: P8 ?0 e5 d( |, X6 K, N) 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
