Coda (syllable) [r]: Group of one or more consonants at the end of a syllable, e.g. [n] in pin or [lt] in belt; while languages such as German or English allow several coda consonants (according to various theories of phonology), others severely restrict or disallow them (e.g. Hawaiian, in which all syllables end with a vowel).
