( Syllable onset)
In phonetics and phonology, a syllable onset is the part of a syllable that precedes the syllable nucleus. The segmental structure of a syllable begins with an onset, followed by a rime or final. Depending on the phonotactics of a language, the onset can consist of a single consonant or a consonant cluster. If a syllable begins with a vowel or another syllabic sonorant, then the syllable is said to have no onset, or a null onset. (Most languages allow this possibility.) The terms null initial and zero initial are used as well. r />
