Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound (the nucleus).

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

Onset-Rime Structure

Syllables are divided into an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and following consonants).

  • The *ch* in *feucht* is a voiceless palatal fricative /ç/.
  • The diphthong *ei* in *keits* is a single vowel sound for syllabification purposes.
  • The *p* in *empfindlich* is part of the *pf* cluster, which is treated as a single onset.
