Vowel-Coda Rule
Syllables generally end in vowels or sonorants. This rule dictates the division between consonants and vowels.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained within syllables unless they are unpronounceable. This prevents breaking up natural consonant groupings.
Onset Maximization
Syllables attempt to maximize their onsets (initial consonant sounds). This principle influences the grouping of consonants at the beginning of syllables.
- The 'non-' prefix is often treated as a separate syllable despite being a bound morpheme.
- The consonant cluster 'ns' is not broken up, adhering to the principle of maximizing onsets.
