  I checked the Finnish syllable structure in a book: (C)V(V/C)(C).
That is true of original Finnish words. In borrowed words there may be
up to three consonants in the beginning of a syllable. Thus the
syllable borders go like this: V-CV, VC-CV, VCC-CV, VCC-CCV 
(kons-truktio), VCC-CCCV (post-strukturalismi).
