Example 20-154
巴笠巴舖孻士
bà làt bà pou làai sih
the proper price
- Comment:
- The words 'proper' and 'price' are each expressed using three syllables: bà làt bà and pou làai sih. Since the Chinese syllables used do not allow any consonant clusters, it is not clear whether such examples demonstrate vowel epenthesis or merely orthographic necessity.
