Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain one vowel sound.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant if a vowel follows, unless the cluster is permissible at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'st').

  • The 'st' cluster in 'post-' is a common initial consonant cluster and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
  • The long vowel /oː/ in 'mo-' is typical and doesn't affect the division.
