A Lateral Theory of Phonology: What is CVCV and Why Should It Be?
Scheer, T. (2004). Mouton de Gruyter
Scheer's CVCV derives syllable structure from lateral relations among the positions of a strict sequence of CV units. This file checks two of the book's patterns against the Strict CV substrate. By Havlík's Law, every other yer of a run survives from Common Slavic into Old Czech, counting from the right edge of the run, which proper government predicts since a governed nucleus governs nothing. And Czech prefixes are vocalised before a root in zero grade but not before a root that begins with a branching onset, since government passes over the empty nucleus that a domain of infrasegmental government encloses.
Implementation notes
A yer is a nucleus with floating melody: it is pronounced exactly when it is not governed, and, not being empty, it is never enclosed in a domain of infrasegmental government. In Common Slavic, Old Czech and Czech a final nucleus may be empty and does not govern. Only the nuclei of a word are modelled.

Declarations
A nucleus without melody ((73c)).
- empty = { melody := StrictCV.Melody.empty }
Havlík's Law
The final nucleus of Common Slavic, Old Czech and Czech may be empty and does not govern.
- slavicFinal = { empty := true, acts := false }

In a word of yers alone, a yer survives iff its distance to the end of the word is even ((304a)).

Czech prefixes
The nuclei of pode-brat 'to seize from below' are o, the yer of the prefix, the zero-grade yer between b and r, which could contract infrasegmental government, a, and the final nucleus.
The definition is too large to print here; read it in the source.
Used by pode_brat_podbradek
The nuclei of podø-bradek 'double chin' are o, the yer of the prefix, the empty nucleus of the branching onset br, a, the yer of -ek, and the final nucleus.
The definition is too large to print here; read it in the source.
Used by pode_brat_podbradek
The prefix is vocalised before brat but not before bradek ((21), §75).
