Onset Maximization
Consonants are assigned to the following syllable whenever possible to create valid onsets.
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound to serve as its nucleus.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone to form a syllable; they must be part of an onset or coda.
- The length of the word and multiple consonant clusters necessitate careful application of onset maximization.
- Vowel reduction in the final syllable (/i/ to /ə/) is a common phonetic phenomenon but does not affect the orthographic syllable division.
