Onset-Rime
Dividing syllables based on the onset (initial consonant cluster) and rime (vowel and following consonants).
Consonant Cluster Rule

- The 'ft' cluster is a common exception to typical onset restrictions.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not alter syllabification.
