Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as long as they form a valid onset (e.g., 'scr').

Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are divided between vowels and consonants, creating open or closed syllables.

Glide Formation

Sequences like 'il' are treated as a single unit forming a glide within a syllable.

  • The 'ill' sequence requires careful consideration to maintain the glide and avoid incorrect syllabification.
  • The circumflex accent on 'â' affects vowel quality but does not alter syllabification rules.
