Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'ver-', 'rungs').
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, serving as the nucleus.
Sonority Sequencing
Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.
- The '-ungs-' sequence is a common nominalization suffix and often forms a syllable on its own.
- The long vowel /aː/ in '-maː-' contributes to the stress placement.
- German allows for relatively long consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllable division, but the rules applied here are standard.
