Emphasis is audible mostly through its effects on neighboring vowels or syllabic consonants, and through the differing pronunciation of and.
Long syllabic consonants are prefixed by point-6, which also transcribes the visarga.
Recifense dialect usually palatalize fricatives in any syllabic consonant meeting (including the end of words) and not only before /d/ and /t/.
Next we must account for the restriction of coda\syllabic consonants to nasals (41b).
A syllabic consonant may be analyzed phonologically either as just the consonant, or as consisting of an underlying schwa followed by the consonant.
However, the distinction between consonant and vowel is not always clear cut: there are syllabic consonants and non-syllabic vowels in many of the world's languages.
This syllabic consonant behaves as the rhyme.
We take this to be a significant achievement, since stress is an overtly nuclear phenomenon : only vowels (and syllabic consonants) can bear stress.
