About Early Common Fini
(*From year 104 onwards to year 304 was the Late Common Fini period. LCF and modern Fini are vastly different from the ECF forms as documented here, and they, because their irregularities are too unwieldy to deal with on CWS, are not registered herein.)

Syllable Structure(C)V(C). Word initially, C might be a syllable on its own.
Stress informationThe stress is almost always on the antepenultimate mora (first mora if the word has less than 3μ. Count: short vowel or a syllabic consonant: 1μ; short vowel with coda: 2μ; long vowel or diphthong, with or without coda: 2μ). If the stress is on a syllabic consonant, it becomes voiced. A geminated ð is analysed as two ð's, one coda and one onset. Stress is realised most commonly as pitch.
OtherThe aspirated stops lose their aspiration in most dialects midway through the period; the dictionary forms of the words do not include aspiration.
