Onset-Rime Division

Syllables are divided between the onset (initial consonant(s)) and the rime (vowel and any following consonants).

Consonant Cluster Treatment

Certain consonant clusters, like 'tion', are treated as single units.

Maximize Onsets

Syllables are formed to maximize the number of consonants in the onset.

  • The 'tion' cluster is a notable exception to the general rule of avoiding consonant clusters at the end of syllables.
  • The word's length and the presence of the 'tion' cluster require careful application of the rules.
