Linking Consonant
The 'n' between morphemes functions as a linking consonant, not a syllable onset.
- The 'n' between 'cuader' and 'nadoras' is a minor exception, but consistent with Spanish's tendency to link consonants across morpheme boundaries.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the perceived syllable boundaries, but the orthographic division remains standard.
