1933 L. Bloomfield Lang. viii. 132 English final clusters consist of two, three, or four non-syllabics. One can describe the combinations most simply by saying that each cluster consists of a main final consonant, which may be preceded by a pre-final, which in turn may be preceded by a second prefinal; further, the main final may be followed by a post-final.

1965 Amer. Speech 40 12 There is here no specification of finals with prefinals and post-finals.

1974 Bull. School Oriental & Afr. Stud. 37 33 There is also a tendency for a second high tone to shift; this is always on the final/pre-final, but the variation is free.

1997 P. Bakker Lang. of Our Own viii. 217 The main ones [sc. stems in Algonquian] are initials (also called roots), medials, and finals; there are also preverbs (which precede the verb stems), premedials, postmedials, and prefinals.
