See my post entitled "Moraic codas [was Re: 'Yemls Morphology]" where
I talk about that at length.  I'm afraid I didn't do a very good job of explaining
the original question, however, that consonants in some languages are moraic
and others aren't;  it's the kind of thing you really have to see by looking at some
data, and, like I said, I lost my Turkish data in the after-graduation move.
