Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The

syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,' S% E" E+ @5 @, v
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial4 ?5 O! c2 R. s
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of- X1 @) [& r8 {$ H4 O
