Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce, as is the case with '-tr-'.

Final Syllable Stress

Schwa Influence

The schwa sound (e) influences syllabification, even if reduced in pronunciation.

  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the degree of schwa reduction, but not the core syllabification.
