HIATUS

HIATUS is a syllable system that was withdrawn from consideration for the syllable structure ballot.

Proposal
On May 7, 2017 at 21:04 UTC, Stefan Storm proposed the system, stating: C(V)VC 1. Two or more vowels in adjacent syllables without an intervening consonant (hiatus) are allowed 2. No consonant clusters 3. Only one long vowel per syllable 4. Always stress on long vowels or last vowel inside a root (if there are no long vowels) On May 9, 2017 at 21:15 UTC, the author edited the proposal to state: (C)(V)V(C) - Two or more vowels in adjacent syllables without an intervening consonant (hiatus) are allowed - No consonant clusters - Only one long vowel per root - Only one syllable in a root - or two if the root contains a hiatus (vowel combination) - Always stress on the long vowel inside a root - or the last vowel if there are no long vowels - Onset or coda not obligatory - No limitations on number of syllables in a word - yet I am wide open to suggestions for amendments to this proposal!

Withdrawal
On May 9, 2017 at 09:55 UTC, the author withdrew this proposal and instead promoted the Obstruent vs. Sonorant proposal. As such, HIATUS was not considered on the ballot.
