Word Parts
Vowel-Based Syllabification
Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Maintenance
Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable if they follow a vowel, unless they are easily separable based on phonotactic constraints.
- The 'g' at the end is pronounced as /ŋ/, a velar nasal, but doesn't affect syllabification.
- The 't' between 'teiten' and 'bestrijding' could potentially be a syllable break, but is not, as it would separate a vowel from its following consonant.
