Vowel-Consonant Division
When a consonant follows a vowel, the syllable is typically divided after the consonant.
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries, but syllabification follows phonological rules regardless.
- The final 'r' is a schwa-like sound in many Dutch dialects, which can affect the perceived length of the final syllable.
