Second Group
[cancia | cancia la surgenti]
The second group consists of vowel clusters that receive the stress on the second vowel. This group contains the last two types.
First Type
[cancia | cancia la surgenti]
The first type in this group consists of the strong vowels, e, a or o, which, as I said above, receive the stress on the second vowel. For this reason, the first vowel cannot be either e or o, because this unaccented vowels do not exist in Sicilian. Therefore, in this group you will not find clusters that begin with e or o.
| Cluster | Example | Esempio | Example | IPA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ae | aereo | /ɐ'ɛ/ | ||
| aa | Sahara | /ɐ'a/ | ||
| ao | Aosta | /ɐ'ɔ/ |
