Syllable should include more linguistic data

[charlesLoder]

Though the Syllable has useful properties, it should have linguistic properties of syllables as well. Suggestions:

Syllable.onset: string | null
Syllable.nucleus: string
Syllable.coda: string | null

Syllable.onset

The overwhelming majority of Hebrew syllables have an onset. Though the aleph or ayin may not be considered an onset in Modern Hebrew, they were in Biblical, and orthographically function like an onset.

The only syllable that won't have onset is a word-initial shureq (e.g. וּמֶלֶךְ [u. 'mε. lεk])

In Biblical Hebrew, there are no medial consonants in the onset; that is, there are no consonant clusters (i.e. CCV or CCVC types). The only exception is for the numeral שְׁתַּיִם and its various forms.

Syllable.nucleus

Every syllable must have a nucleus (i.e. vowel). A vocal shewa is a nucleus

Syllable.coda

A coda is optional. A final qamet-he or qamets-aleph would not count as a coda; these would be of the syllable type CV, but a he with a mappiq would be a coda—it would be a syllable type of CVC.
