Vowel Separation
Vowels between consonants are separated into different syllables (e.g., 'sa-sis').
Consonant Cluster Separation
Consonant clusters are generally broken up, but not when they form a natural phonetic unit (e.g., 'sis' remains together).
Penultimate Stress
Words ending in vowels, 'n', or 's' are stressed on the penultimate syllable.
- The vowel insertion '-ie-' is a morphological process to maintain stress on the root and doesn't directly affect syllabification.
- The 'sis' cluster is a relatively common sequence in Spanish and is treated as a single syllable due to its phonetic cohesion.
