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,
9 {% B9 D, V+ l, T7 L; S! @and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial& p1 g6 `% p$ w: u+ O: g. v
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of) H6 _- N; l, x( r
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).' e! K+ W/ _$ ]& m( G0 [. F/ }
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=2 E) U& t e/ R; W
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]1 b W/ Y/ A& H. A& U+ v. X4 l
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
