Open Syllable Principle

Each syllable generally begins with a consonant and ends with a vowel. Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable if separation would leave a single consonant between vowels.

Penultimate Stress Rule

In Italian, stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable unless otherwise indicated by accent marks.

  • The 'tt' cluster is treated as a single unit to avoid a single consonant between vowels.
  • The past historic ending '-ammo' is a fixed morphological unit.
