Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters (e.g., 'qu', 'cl') are maintained together at the beginning of syllables.

Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable contains a vowel sound, ensuring a clear vowel nucleus.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a consonant cluster.

  • Potential vowel reduction in 'quasi' to /kwəziː/ in some dialects, but standard pronunciation maintains /kweɪ/.
  • The 'si' sequence is treated as separate syllables due to the clear vowel articulation.
