SYLLABLE CODA


In phonology, a 'syllable coda' comprises the consonant sounds of a syllable that follow the nucleus, which is usually a vowel. The combination of a nucleus and a coda is called a rime. A coda is not required in syllables. Some languages' phonotactics, like that of Japanese, limit syllable codas to a small group of single consonants, whereas others can have any consonant phoneme or even clusters of consonants in syllable codas.
Here are some single-syllable words with codas: (the codas are specified in the International Phonetic Alphabet)

★ a''n'': coda =

★ cu''p'': coda =

★ ta''ll'': coda =

★ mi''lk'': coda =

★ ti''nts'': coda =

★ fi''fths'': coda =

★ si''xths'': coda =
The following single-syllable words end in a nucleus and do not have a coda:

★ glue

★ pie

★ though

★ boy
