Onset Maximization
Prioritizing the creation of syllables with consonant onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'qu' in 'qua-').
Vowel-Consonant Division
Dividing the word after each vowel sound when followed by a consonant (e.g., 'si-', 'in-').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Ensuring that consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable without a following vowel.
- Vowel clusters (e.g., 'io' in 'international') require careful consideration to maintain pronounceability.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
