Maximizing the onset
The primary rule applied is maximizing the onset, but respecting Dutch phonotactics. VCV sequences are split as C-V if the resulting onset is not permissible.
- The 'ch' in 'recht' could be considered a single phoneme /x/, but for syllabification, it's treated as /xt/ to adhere to the principle of representing each grapheme.
