A very precise specification of the what, but not so clear on the why. Are = there rationales other than "Because CLL says so"?

I guess it's at least 17, because each of the 17 Cs can occur word-medially= before another C that it can't occur word-initially before? Does CLL forbid CC codas? I guess this would be in fu'ivla.

An alternativ= e would be to insist that every licit phonological string has both a CV syl= labification (with buffer vowels) and a resyllabification without buffer vo= wels. That alternative strikes me as needlessly complex, but as still prefe= rable to abolishing the buffer vowel. > > I don't mind it appearing sporadically at the phonological level, I > just don't want it at the phonemic level because I think it hinders > more than helps. A distinction between "the phonological level" and "the phonemic level" loo= ks rather spurious to me. --And. --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= BPFK" group.
