View source for morphology: cmevla


To check if a string begins with a ''cmevla'', extract as many ''cmevla-syllaboid''s as you can from the left (possibly none), then you must find a consonant or cluster (details of which clusters are allowed are still to be worked out) followed by a [[Morphology: special characters|pause]]. In that case, you have a ''cmevla'', otherwise the string does not begin with a ''cmevla''. 

A ''cmevla-syllaboid'' consists of an optional [[Morphology: syllables|coda]], any number of  [[Morphology: syllables|consonantal-syllable]]s (possibly none), an [[Morphology: syllables|onset]] and a [[Morphology: vowels|nucleus]]. It can also be a [[Morphology: vowels|digit]], which stands for the syllable corresponding to its name, as in '''la .2005nan. '''(''the year 2005''). The reason to include the coda and consonantal-syllables as part of the syllaboid is so that things like "ndoi" are admissible.
