Vowel Separation

Syllables are separated wherever a vowel is encountered.

Consonant Cluster Separation

Consonant clusters are split according to sonority, though in this case, there are no complex clusters.

Penultimate Stress

Words ending in vowels are stressed on the penultimate syllable.

  • The 'v' sound between vowels is realized as a bilabial approximant [β].
  • The 'z' sound can vary regionally (e.g., [s] in Latin America), but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
  • No significant morphological anomalies are present.
