Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'trad', 'ci').
Vowel Sequences
Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., 'di', 'to').
Geminate Consonants
Geminate consonants are kept together within the same syllable (e.g., 'dd' in 'trad').
- The gemination of 'dd' is crucial for the phonological distinction and must be maintained in the syllable division.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the duration of vowels, but the syllable division remains consistent.
