Consonant Cluster Resolution
Consonant clusters are broken after the first consonant if it's not part of a digraph (e.g., 'cc' in 'picc-' is treated as /tʃ/ and syllabified accordingly).
- The pronunciation of 'cc' as /tʃ/ before 'i' and 'e' is a key consideration.
- Italian syllabification generally avoids leaving a syllable without a vowel.
