Suffixes

Possessive and genitive suffixes dictate final syllable division.

  • The diphthong /æ/ in *repræsentant* is treated as a single vowel nucleus.
  • The final /s/ is a genitive marker and forms a syllable on its own.
  • Regional variations in vowel realization (e.g., /æ/ vs. /e/) do not significantly alter syllable division.
  • Stød (glottal stop) can vary regionally, but doesn't affect syllable boundaries.
