• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maximized within the syllable onset.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complex morphology make it a challenging case for syllabification. The 'ng' cluster is treated as a single unit within the syllable. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the core syllabic structure.
