Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are included in the onset of the syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'st-' in 'ste').

Vowel-Centric Syllabification

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. Vowels act as the nucleus of the syllable.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are assigned to the syllable they most naturally belong to, avoiding leaving consonants without a vowel.

  • The 'eo' sequence could potentially be a diphthong, but is treated as two separate vowel sounds in this case.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
