Vowel-centric Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, with consonants assigned to the onset or coda based on pronounceability.

Avoidance of Complex Clusters

Consonant clusters are avoided unless they are easily pronounceable together.

  • Nasal vowels require careful consideration in syllabification.
  • The 'r' sound can sometimes pose challenges but is integrated into the onset in this case.
