Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant
Italian avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels, grouping it with the preceding or following vowel.
- The 'str' cluster is treated as a single onset, influencing syllable division.
- The suffix '-zione' consistently attracts penultimate stress.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not alter the syllabification.
