There are many syllables that end in a vowel, all the verb prefixes, for example, and quite a few words that end in vowels, too.  For example Do (velocity) HaSta (viewing screen) and tI (vegetation).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> HoD qunnoQ [mailto:[email protected]] <br><b>Sent:</b> October 7, 2015 21:24<br><b>To:</b> tlhIngan Hol mailing list<br><b>Subject:</b> [Tlhingan-hol] Phonology of Klingon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>nuqneH<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>I was reading this link :<a href="http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Phonology";>http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Phonology</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>And it says that a valid syllable is the combination CV (consonant-vowel). Does this mean that i can have this combination at the end of a word,without the glottal stop following it ? I thought that whenever there is a vowel at the end of a word the glottal stop must always follow it (as part of the same word), with the &quot;oy&quot; as the only exception to this rule.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Qapla'!<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
