Vowel-to-Vowel Separation

Syllables are generally divided between vowels (e.g., 'que-sto').

Consonant Cluster Division

Consonant clusters are divided based on sonority (e.g., 'ne-d͡ʒ').

gn as a Unit

The 'gn' digraph is treated as a single consonant and is not split across syllables (e.g., 'd͡ʒe-ne').

Double Consonant Division

Double consonants are treated as a single lengthened consonant and are not split across syllables (e.g., 'gge-').

  • The complexity arises from the prefixed verb and conditional ending.
  • The 'gn' cluster and double 'gg' require specific attention.
  • Regional variations might cause slight pronunciation differences, but the core syllable structure remains consistent.
