Dutch favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. This is why 'ver' and 'mo' are separated.
Avoid Single Consonant Onset
Avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable. This influences the division of 'vermogens'.
- The 'verm' sequence could potentially be divided as 'ver-m', but 'ver-mo' is more common.
- The (n) in 'vermogens' is often reduced or elided in rapid speech.
- Stress placement can be subtle in long compounds, with secondary stress possible.
