Vowel-Centric Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are resolved by assigning consonants to the adjacent syllable based on sonority and phonotactic constraints (though minimal in this case).

-ndo Syllabification

The -ndo ending typically forms a separate syllable when following a vowel.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'z' and 'c' (as /s/ in some Latin American dialects) do not affect syllabification.
  • The -ndo ending is a common point of inquiry, but the rule is consistently applied in this case.
