Syllables are built around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.
Consonant cluster preservation
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel.
Compound word rules
Syllable division respects the boundaries of the constituent morphemes in compound words.
- The length of the word and the presence of multiple consonant clusters make it a challenging case.
- The stød on the 't' in 'told' is a subtle phonetic feature that doesn't directly affect syllable division but influences pronunciation.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of certain sounds (e.g., the 'r' sound).
