Onset-Rime Structure
Syllables are formed around a vowel sound, with consonants preceding (onset) and following (rime).
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
A single vowel can constitute a syllable on its own.
Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless breaking them is necessary for pronunciation.
- The repetition of 'benzene' and the 'azo' linker create a complex structure.
- The 'z' sound in 'azo' could potentially be considered part of the preceding syllable, but separating it maintains clarity.
