• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster-Vowel (CCV): Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable until a vowel is encountered (e.g., gu-).
• Rule 3: Nasal Vowels: Nasal vowels form a syllable on their own, followed by any subsequent consonants (e.g., rent).

8. Exceptions and Special Cases:

• The 'gu' sequence is a common exception, where 'u' functions as a glide, creating a /ɡy/ sound.
• The final '-ent' is a common suffix that is pronounced as a nasal vowel /ɑ̃/.
