Vowel Division
Syllables are often divided before vowels, creating open syllables.
Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are generally maintained as onsets (beginning of syllables) to maximize syllable complexity.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable unless necessary.
- The consonant cluster '-sent-' is permissible in English despite its complexity.
- Potential vowel reduction in 'nous' and 'ness' to a schwa /ə/ does not affect the underlying syllabification.
