Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The l I9 T7 n0 v2 Q: b
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
$ D) ^- W& W B/ Nsyllable 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
