Descrição: . This paper deals with an inconsistency in the application of the concept of sonority in such non‐linear approaches to phonology that make use of both the segmental tier and the skeletal tier. I will argue that these approaches are forced to take the skeletal tier as the relevant level for the application of sonority. However, since long vowels occupy two positions on this tier, they form a sonority plateau, a configuration that is generally forbidden by basic sonority constraints. To solve this inconsistency, I will propose the concept of segments with inherently falling sonority. In addition, I will consider other candidates for elements with inherently uneven sonority. The intricacies of sonority will be discussed considering German as an example, following the assumption that phonological concepts, despite having a universal core, are characterised by language‐specific adjustments.
