navi1-2 Exercise 2: Possible Syllable Starts ============================================= The rule: a two-consonant start must begin with f, s or ts, followed by one of p t k px tx kx m n ng r l w y. (a) fp possible f + p (b) sk possible s + k (c) tsk possible ts + k (ts counts as one consonant) (d) ps NOT possible it does not begin with f, s or ts; also s may only START a syllable, so it cannot come second (e) bt NOT possible Na'vi has no b; and b is not one of f, s, ts (f) fng possible f + ng (ng is one consonant) Note: (c) and (f) look long in English spelling but are still only two consonants each, because ts and ng are single sounds.
