Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary rule guiding syllable division.
Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are broken up to create pronounceable syllables, prioritizing the preservation of affricates and diphthongs.
Final Schwa

- The 'ï' is a semi-vowel and requires careful consideration in syllabification, but it clearly belongs to the 'oï' diphthong.
- The word's length and complexity require careful application of the vowel nucleus rule.
