I should add that in multi-syllable words, the only consonant phonemes allowed to finish a syllable before another consonant are the nasals /m/ and /n/, and /l/. That is to say, CVCVC, CVmCvC, CVnCVC (commonest) and CVlCVC are all permissible word structures, but not CVrCVC or CVsCVC, for instance. Geoff
