Word Parts
Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors maximizing open syllables (CV structure) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'cur-sus' and 'mo-ge'.
Consonant Cluster Avoidance
Consonant clusters are generally avoided unless necessary. The 'lijk' syllable maintains the 'lijk' cluster as it's a common and permissible combination.
- The final 'n' in 'den' can be reduced or elided in rapid speech, but doesn't affect the syllabification.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not alter the syllable division.
