Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable contains a vowel nucleus. Syllable boundaries are formed around vowel sounds.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless breaking them is necessary to avoid violating the vowel nucleus rule.

  • The 'ie' digraph is treated as a single vowel sound (diphthong) and remains within a single syllable.
  • The schwa /ə/ (represented by 'ë') always forms its own syllable.
