Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonants are ordered by sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable nuclei.
- The 'i' in 'graphi' could potentially be considered part of the 'graph' syllable, but the clear vowel sound warrants its own syllable.
- The presence of the interfix '-o-' is a common feature in English compound words and doesn't significantly alter the syllabification rules.
