Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or unpronounceable. 'ds' is treated as a single unit.

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are divided based on the individual morphemes and their inherent syllabic structure.

  • Dutch compounding allows for long words, requiring a focus on pronounceability during syllabification.
  • The 'g' sound can vary regionally, but does not affect syllabification.
  • The 'd' between vowels can be realized as [ð], but this is a phonetic variation and doesn't change the syllable division.
