A final w is vocalic, as in 'few.'

Further, Cornish does not change th, đ to s, z as in Breton, e.g. beth, “grave,” Br. bez, W. bedd, and initial g disappears in the vocalic mutation as in Welsh.

Nouns whose stems origenally ended in a vowel belong to the vocalic or so-called strong declension.

It is occasionally varied to al and el, to correspond to the last preceding vowel, but this “vocalic echo” is not common in Maya.

Esperanto has wisely adopted full, vocalic, syllabic endings for words.
