Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors syllables of the form CV (consonant-vowel). Syllable division aims to create as many open syllables as possible.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are allowed, but division attempts to separate them if it results in more open syllables.
- The 'tief' syllable represents a slight edge case where a consonant cluster is retained despite the preference for open syllables.
