A syllable consists of an onset, a non-jbocre: Morphology: vowels nucleus, and a coda. (A y-nucleus is excluded from the definition of syllable just for convenience, because y-syllables are not allowed in fu'ivla. y-syllables in brivla always have an empty coda.)

An onset is an jbocre: Morphology: consonants nitial consonant or cluster, or a jbocre: Morphology: vowels lide, or an jbocre: Morphology: consonants, or empty. (An empty onset can only appear at the beginning of a word, an h onset can never appear at the beginning of a word, a glide onset can never appear immediately after a diphthong.)

A nucleus is a jbocre: Morphology: vowels iphthong, or a jbocre: Morphology: vowels owel, or a jbocre: Morphology: vowels, not followed directly by another nucleus.

A coda is a single jbocre: Morphology: consonants onsonant, or empty, not the start of a consonantal-syllable, nor of an jbocre: Morphology: consonants nitial consonant or cluster.

A consonantal-syllable consists of a jbocre: Morphology: consonants onsonant and a jbocre: Morphology: consonants yllabic consonant, and must always be followed by another consonantal-syllable or by an jbocre: Morphology: consonants nitial consonant or cluster.

A final-syllable (of a brivla) is a syllable whose nucleus is not stressed, followed directly by a jbocre: Morphology: special characters ause or by a jbocre: Morphology: words ojban-word other than a cmene.

A stressed-syllable, a stressed-diphthong and a stressed-vowel are, respectively, a syllable, a jbocre: Morphology: vowels iphthong and a jbocre: Morphology: vowels owel with where the vowel is stressed ('A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U') or with stress being marked by being followed (possibly after intervening y and/or consonantal syllables) by just one syllable and then by a jbocre: Morphology: special characters ause. (The use of capital 'I' and 'U' in jbocre: Morphology: vowels lide position, or capital consonants, is not taken as a mark of stress.)

An unstressed-syllable, an unstressed-diphthong and an unstressed-vowel are, respectively, a syllable, a jbocre: Morphology: vowels iphthong and a jbocre: Morphology: vowels owel not stressed as described above.
