Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary driver of syllable division.
Consonant Cluster Maintenance
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are exceptionally long or difficult to pronounce.
Digraph Preservation
Digraphs like 'æ' are not broken across syllable boundaries.
- The length of the word and multiple consonant clusters require careful application of the vowel peak rule.
- The 'r' vocalization can create slight pronunciation variations, but doesn't alter the core syllable structure.
- Danish stød (glottal stop) doesn't directly influence syllable division.
