Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors syllables ending in vowels. Syllable division aims to create open syllables whenever possible.
Consonant Cluster Preservation
Permissible consonant clusters (e.g., 'st', 'nd') are not broken up during syllabification.

Compound words are treated as combinations of smaller words, and syllabification respects the internal structure of each component.
- The length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes require careful application of the rules.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but do not affect the core syllabification.
