Geminate Consonant Rule

Geminate consonants are maintained within a syllable, affecting duration rather than syllable boundaries.

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, with consonants between vowels forming separate syllables.

  • The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single affricate /ʃ/. Gemination affects pronunciation but not syllable division.
