Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary driver of syllable division.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are assigned to the syllable they most naturally belong to, avoiding leaving them isolated. This applies to the 'd' in 'di-bu'.

Final Syllable Stress

Stress typically falls on the final syllable, influencing the perception of syllable boundaries.

Nasal Vowel Syllables

Nasal vowels form the nucleus of their own syllable, as seen in 'in' and 'fun'.

  • The word's length and complexity require careful application of the 'avoid stranded consonants' rule.
  • The presence of nasal vowels necessitates recognizing them as syllable nuclei.
  • While stress is primarily on the final syllable, a secondary stress on the antepenultimate syllable is common in longer words.
