Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible.
Avoid Single Consonant Onset
Consonants are generally not left at the beginning of a syllable unless part of a cluster.
Compound Word Syllabification
Each constituent of a compound word is syllabified separately before combining.
- The 'st' consonant cluster is common in Dutch and is handled by allowing the 's' to begin the following syllable.
- The infix '-in-' doesn't affect syllable division directly but is important for morphemic analysis.
