Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., *st* in *instelling*).
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

- The 'ng' sound /ŋ/ is treated as a single unit within a syllable.
- Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllabification, but the proposed division adheres to the principle of maximizing onsets.
