Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
/ K7 P0 a; u2 J/ k& B1 ]& q! MInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
" Y8 ]) s- _. Zsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,' \- S% f0 w- e4 p1 p& r+ t u' w
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
