Closed syllables, i.e. those ending in coda, are not as common word-medially as open syllables (ending in nucleus) are. When words are inflected, parts of codas tend to become onsets of the following syllable, if possible. Especially three-consonant clusters are rare word-medially and receive a schwa after a non-lateral stop: ''kamps'' /kämps/ (marsh) → ''*kampsku'' → ''kamposku'' /ˈkäm.pəs.ku/ (at marsh) | Closed syllables, i.e. those ending in coda, are not as common word-medially as open syllables (ending in nucleus) are.
