Prioritize creating syllables with consonant onsets.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Avoid leaving consonants without a following vowel.

Vowel-Consonant Division

  • The 'str' cluster requires careful consideration to avoid creating an illegal syllable structure.
  • The final 'e' is often a schwa and can be elided in rapid speech, affecting the phonetic realization but not the syllabification.
