• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to initiate a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The archaic nature of the past historic subjunctive can influence pronunciation slightly, but doesn't alter the core syllabification. Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (e.g., a more uvular 'r' in some areas) don't affect syllable division.
