Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors CV syllables whenever possible. Syllable divisions are made to maximize the number of open syllables.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are generally kept intact unless splitting them creates an illegal syllable structure (e.g., a syllable starting with two consonants that are not allowed in Dutch).
Stress Influence
The primary stress influences the perceived boundaries between syllables, often reinforcing divisions.
- The suffix '-ing' could be analyzed as part of the root in some analyses, but is treated separately here for clarity.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
