Thanks, though I must admit it seems a bit redundant bearing in mind that this is a CV language. Even so, I agree it is best to keep it for clarity's sake. Thanks! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
To answer your question, I think it's better to keep "syllabic." Your author is sayingt that it's the vowel of that syllable -- the syllable's vowel, so to speak. Though I agree that it's not central to the point being made.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Do you think the word "syllabic" is really necessary? Sure, it would be important if this was a "syllabic consonant" but for a vowel?
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
