the type of syllable they form. Traditionally there are four types of
syllables. The first, the open syllable, may consist of:
1. consonant + vowel: go, me, by;
2. consonant + vowel + consonant (except r) + silent e: take,
Pete, like, tone, tune;
In the open syllable the pronunciation of vowel letters (except
y) coincides with their alphabetical definition: a /ei/, e /i:/, i and y
/ai/, o /ou/, u /ju:/; however, these same sounds may be represented
by other means, i.e. other combinations of letters, and in different
position:
/ei/ represented by a) ai (in the middle of the word) or ay
(when final): main, rain, may, ray; b) ea: break, great, steak; c)
eigh: neighbour, weigh, freight; d) a followed by nge, ste: range,
strange, haste, paste; e) ei (in the middle of the word) or ey (when
final): veil, vein, grey, prey;
/i:/ represented by a) ee: sleep, meet, keep; b) ea: sea, leaf,
lean; c) ie: chief, brief, belief; d) ei: receive, perceive, seize;
/ai/ represented by a) i before mb, nd, ld: mind, mild, kind,
climb, child; b) igh: sigh, night, playwright; c) uy: buy, guy;
/ou/ represented by a) oa: coat, toast, road; b) o before
ld, st:
cold, told, post, ghost; c) ou: shoulder, poultry, soul; d) ow: know,
sow, low; also remember: sew.
/ju:/ or /u:/ represented by ui: suit, bruise, cruise; /ju:/
represented by a) ew: new, few, dew; b) eu: neutral, pneumonic; /u:/
represented by oo: soon, pool, tool;

Exercise 1. Write the following words in spelling. If there are two ways of
expressing the vowel sound, give both variants, translating the words into
Armenian.
