1. No resyllabification: 산’s coda ㄴ is followed by 유, whose null onset carries a glide (ʲu). The glide itself blocks resyllabification the same way a true consonant onset would, so ㄴ stays put rather than shifting onto 유.
2. Resyllabification with palatalization: 꽃’s coda (representative [t]) resyllabifies onto 이, keeping its original identity, and palatalizes to [tʃ] since true ㅣ follows — contrast 꽃은 below, where the following vowel is a pure vowel with no glide.
3. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 봄’s coda ㅁ is followed by a space, then 여름 (a separate word beginning with a glide, itself also blocking as in note 1).
4. Resyllabification, alveolar this time: 꽃’s coda resyllabifies onto 은, but since 은’s vowel ㅡ (ʉ) is one of the five pure vowels with no glide, the result stays alveolar [ts] rather than palatalizing — contrast 꽃이 above.
5. Nasalization: 있’s coda (representative [t], from ㅆ) meets 네’s onset ㄴ and nasalizes to [n], the same pattern as 뗏목 or 왔네.
6. ㅎ-deletion, not aspiration: 좋’s coda ㅎ is followed by a vowel-initial syllable (아), not a consonant, so there is nothing for it to aspirate into — it simply drops, leaving no residue and no resyllabification, the same pattern confirmed elsewhere in this project (e.g. 놓아).
7. 지: onset ㅈ before true ㅣ palatalizes to [dʒ], the same unified principle as 꽃이’s ㅊ→[tʃ].
