Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Final Syllable Rule

Stress Rule
Stress falls on the penultimate syllable if the word ends in a vowel, 'n', or 's'. The written accent overrides this rule.
- The 'b' and 'v' sounds are allophones in Spanish, and their pronunciation can vary regionally without affecting syllabification.
- The presence of the written accent on the 'e' in 've' is crucial for determining the stress pattern.
