Final Schwa Influence
A final schwa often causes the stress to shift to the penultimate syllable.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound (uvular vs. alveolar) do not affect syllabification.
- Potential vowel reduction in the 'ne' syllable, but this does not alter the syllable division.
