Vowel-Coda Rule
Syllables generally end in vowels. This rule is applied throughout the word.
Onset-Coda Rule
Syllables have an onset (initial consonant sound) and a coda (final consonant sound). This rule helps define syllable boundaries.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained within syllables, as seen in 'tion'.
- The length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes create a complex structure, but the syllabification follows established rules without major exceptions.
- Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in 'omni' to a schwa /ə/, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllabification.
