Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonants are ordered by sonority (ease of articulation), with more sonorous sounds appearing closer to the vowel.
Avoid Single-Consonant Codas
Dutch prefers to avoid ending a syllable with a single consonant if it can be combined with a following vowel.
- The 'g' sound is often a voiced velar fricative (/ɣ/).
