Maximize Onsets

Prioritizes creating syllables with consonant onsets whenever possible.

Vowel-Centric Syllabification

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally split to maximize onsets, but maintained if they form a natural phonetic unit.

  • The prefix 'sub-' is consistently treated as a separate syllable.
  • The 'stell' sequence requires careful consideration to ensure the vowel is not incorrectly grouped with the following syllable.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the perceived syllable boundaries, but the core structure remains consistent.
