| Re: Vowel or Consonant? Quote:
The sound represented by the letter <w> has vocalic properties when it sits in the nucleus of a word, the vowel position, and consonantal properties elsewhere. For example, We <consonant> down <vocalic; diphthong (part of the vowel) queen <consonantal, [kw] is a consonant cluster; cf. keen) Are there specific words that you would like explained? |
