Avoid Single Consonant Between Vowels
Italian avoids leaving a single consonant between two vowels; consonant clusters are maintained.
Digraphs as Single Onsets
Digraphs like 'sc' are treated as single units within the onset.
- The 'sc' cluster requires treating 'sc' as a single onset to avoid an illegal syllable structure (VCC).
- Regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel quality or stress intensity, but the core syllabification remains consistent.
