Avoidance of Hiatus

Vowel hiatus is avoided by assigning consonants to either the preceding or following vowel.

  • The 'ings' sequence maintains a consonant cluster within a syllable.
  • The linking element '-on-' often forms a syllable of its own.
  • Regional variations in vowel reduction may occur in unstressed syllables.
