This image displays a linguistic tree diagram illustrating the syllabic structure of the word 'Picks'. The diagram consists of black serif text and connecting lines on a plain white background.

At the very top center is the word 'Picks' enclosed in single quotation marks. A vertical line descends from this word to the Greek letter sigma ($\sigma$), which serves as the root node representing a syllable.

From the sigma symbol, two diagonal lines branch out downwards. The left branch connects to the label Onset, and the right branch connects to the label Rime.

Underneath the word Onset, a long vertical line extends down to the lowercase letter p. This indicates that the consonant p constitutes the onset of the syllable.

Beneath the word Rime, the structure splits again into two branches. The left branch leads to the label Nucleus, and the right branch leads to the label Coda. Directly below Nucleus, a vertical line connects to the capital letter I, representing the vowel nucleus of the word. Below the word Coda, two diagonal lines form an inverted V-shape. The left line connects to the lowercase letter k, and the right line connects to the lowercase letter s. This shows that the consonants k and s together make up the coda of the syllable.
