Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters that cannot begin a syllable in Italian are maintained within the same syllable (e.g., 'gg' in 'ggia').
- The 'gg' cluster is pronounced as /d͡ʒ/ before 'i' or 'e' due to palatalization, but this doesn't affect syllabification.
- The word is exclusively a verb, so syllabification and stress remain consistent across conjugations.
