Consonant Cluster Resolution
Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant if a vowel follows.
Geminate Consonant Treatment
Geminate consonants are treated as two separate consonants for syllabification.
Vowel as Syllable
A single vowel constitutes a syllable.
- The geminate 'cc' requires special attention. The 'gn' cluster behaves as a single phoneme /ɲ/. Regional variations in pronunciation of 'gn' may exist but do not affect syllabification.
