Geminate consonants are treated as a single unit for syllabification, but pronounced with length.

  • The complex verb conjugation and the conditional ending '-bbero' add length.
  • The geminate 'zz' requires careful consideration for pronunciation and syllabification.
  • The prefix 'ri-' adds a syllable but doesn't alter the core syllabification pattern.
