Consonant Cluster Division
Italian generally separates consonant clusters based on sonority and pronounceability. Clusters are broken where a vowel can naturally be inserted without altering the word's meaning.
Vowel-Consonant Division
Syllables are typically divided after a vowel, unless it's part of a diphthong or triphthong.
- The 'gli' cluster is treated as a single unit for phonetic purposes but is divided for orthographic syllabification.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the perceived stress, but the primary stress remains on the penultimate syllable.
