Onset Maximization

Consonants are assigned to the following vowel whenever possible, creating maximal onsets.

Vowel Centering

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, ensuring every syllable has a nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Permissibility

GB English allows for consonant clusters in both onsets and codas, accommodating sequences like 'pul' and 'ry'.

  • The 'p' followed by 'ul' in '-pulmo-' is a less common onset cluster but is standard pronunciation and doesn't violate syllabification rules.
  • Potential slight vowel reduction in unstressed syllables by some speakers.
