Feb 20, 2018 at 22:18 comment added brass tacks @fdb: Arabic is mentioned in the quotation by Gussenhoven and Jacobs. It is relevant because for languages that only allow CV syllables to exist, languages that require onsets would have to exist. Arabic is supposed to be an example of such a language, but the fact that the situation is somewhat complicated suggests that, for at least some languages that are said to require onsets, that statement may mean something different from what somebody unfamilar with the language might expect. (I don't think CVCC syllables are very frequent in Arabic: AFAIK, they only occur word-finally in MSA.)

Feb 20, 2018 at 14:31 comment added fdb I fail to see what Arabic has to do with this question. All forms of Arabic have frequent CVC and CVCC syllables.
