Onset-Rhyme Division
Syllables are divided based on the onset (initial consonant sound(s)) and the rhyme (vowel and any following consonants).
- The 'inter-' prefix can sometimes be pronounced as a single syllable (/ɪntər/), but separating it into 'in-ter-' is more consistent with standard syllabification.
- The 'agglut' sequence requires careful consideration, but the stress pattern and vowel nucleus in 'glut' dictate the division.
