Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
# A- M$ G$ k0 t) DInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the- C2 ?2 x& ^- r2 s; x8 C
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

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