Maximize Onsets

Sonority Sequencing Principle
Arrange sounds within a syllable from more sonorous (vowels) to less sonorous (consonants).
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Ensure consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable without a following vowel.
- The 'dr' consonant cluster is a common and permissible onset in English.
- Potential for vowel reduction (schwa insertion) in unstressed syllables, but this doesn't affect the core syllabification.
