Consonant clusters are broken up to create syllables around vowel sounds, avoiding stranded consonants.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the beginning of a syllable unless they form a consonant cluster.

Stress Placement

Stress typically falls on the last syllable unless it ends in a schwa (e), in which case it falls on the penultimate syllable.
