Geminate Consonant Handling
Geminate consonants (like 'ss') do not prevent the application of vowel-based syllabification rules.
- The geminate 'ss' could be a point of discussion, but the standard rule of vowel-based division prevails.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel length or gemination, but not the core syllable division.
