I hadn't realized that ! the cvc refers to syllables ?
Like others said, this is not a written rule, more a general observation. But yes, it applies to syllables when you say they follow the structure CVC. Of course, as most word consist of only one sylable, it applies to them as well. Besides of -oy, no syllable starts with a vowel. That's important for beginners who try to analyze long words, for instance: {DaSov} could possible start with {DaS}, but {ov} cannot meaning anything. So that word must be Da+Sov. You have certainly obeserved that words can be stuck together with suffixes, prefixes, and even nouns, so it is unavoidable that consonants touch each other, creating seemingly strange combinations. When I first read the word 'entepray' I was confused as I thought it does not follow the system, having two syllables 'ente + pray' (like it is in english). But then I found out that it perfectly follows the pattern, saying 'en+tep+ray' :-) -- Lieven L.
