Maximizing Open Syllables

Dutch prefers syllables of the form CV (consonant-vowel). Syllable division aims to create as many open syllables as possible.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce. In this word, clusters are maintained where possible.

Penultimate Stress

The primary stress in Dutch typically falls on the penultimate syllable, especially in compound nouns.

  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect syllable division.
  • The prefix 'be-' can sometimes be considered part of a circumfix with '-stuur', but this doesn't alter the syllabification.
