Vowel Clusters

Vowel clusters are generally maintained within a syllable.

Geminate Consonants

Penultimate Stress

  • The geminate 'zz' requires careful consideration as breaking it would alter pronunciation and meaning.
  • The 'i' before 'zz' influences the phonetic quality of the syllable but doesn't create a separate syllable.
