Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are grouped at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'thro', 'log').
Vowel Peak
Each syllable contains a vowel sound, which forms the syllable's nucleus (e.g., 'an', 'po', 'pho').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 'cal' rather than 'c-al').
- The 'ph' digraph is treated as a single phoneme /f/.
- The word's length and complex morphology influence stress placement.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter syllable boundaries, but the overall structure remains consistent.
