Reconciling Indo-European syllabification /

Adam Cooper examines two seemingly disparate phenomena associated with Indo-European syllable structure - the heterosyllabic treatment of medial consonant clusters and the right-hand vocalization of sonorants - and integrates them into a single picture of the reconstructed system.
