Onset-Rime

Syllables are formed based on the onset (initial consonant(s)) and rime (vowel and any following consonants).

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound acting as the nucleus.

Coda Rule

Consonants following the vowel in a syllable form the coda.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within the onset or coda unless a vowel intervenes.

  • The word's length and complex morphology require careful application of syllable division rules.
  • The schwa sound (/ə/) in unstressed syllables can sometimes be ambiguous, but the established pronunciation guides the division.
  • The 'll' sequence is treated as a single consonant sound followed by a vowel.
