Onset Maximization
Prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (e.g., 'cus', 'tom').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Prevents leaving single consonants at the end of a syllable without a following vowel (e.g., dividing after 'ac' rather than before 'c').
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are generally divided around vowel sounds (e.g., 'dis-ac').
- The '-st-' cluster in 'accustomed' is a common and accepted syllable onset.
- The final '-ness' suffix is a standard noun-forming suffix and doesn't pose unusual syllabification challenges.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /ʌ/ vs. /ə/) might exist but do not affect the core syllable division.
