Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters like 'str-' are kept together as onsets to form syllables.
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable contains a vowel sound, ensuring a clear vowel peak.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.
- The '-str-' cluster is generally treated as a single onset, although some variations might occur.
- The '-ively' suffix is a standard adverbial suffix and doesn't pose unique syllabification challenges.
