Stray Erasure and the Coda Condition in Korean

Stray Erasure and the Coda Condition in Korean Stray Erasure and the Coda Condition in Korean* KIM Sun-hee The Korean consonant system consists of fifteen obstruents and four sonorants.

But these seven consonants are not the only ones that appear at the final position in the underlying representation of a morpheme, for example, /pakV 'outside' or /os/ 'clothes'.
