Oh dear, people are doing it again -- Confusing different layers
of IE. In _MIE_ the structure is CV(C) and, afaic, more in line
with Semitic syllabics and accentuation. However, the above quote
involved the postSyncope stage, from _eLIE_ onwards. In eLIE,
the syllable structure is (s)(C)CV(C)(C) as a result of the
event of Syncope. In IE itself, the allowable syllabics are
even less strict than eLIE.
