| Citazioni | There are also limitations upon clustering: in English, not more than three consonants occur in succession initially, nor more than four or five (depending on the inclusion of foreign names) medially in a morpheme. These clusters may be further limited in the order of the phonemes: /t/ occurs after /p/ and /k/ before word-juncture, but not before them. |
