Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors syllables ending in vowels.
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries.
- The 'ntw' consonant cluster is maintained as a unit, despite the preference for open syllables.
- Hyphenation influences perceived boundaries but doesn't directly dictate phonetic syllabification.
