Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables

- The 'st' and 'dz' consonant clusters are treated as single units within the syllable due to sonority constraints.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
