Vowel-centric Syllabification
Syllables are built around vowel sounds, ensuring each syllable has a vowel nucleus.
Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are generally assigned to the following vowel to create a valid onset, maximizing the number of consonants at the beginning of a syllable.
Avoidance of Diphthong Splitting
Diphthongs (vowel combinations) are kept within a single syllable to maintain their phonetic integrity.
Penultimate Stress
Primary stress falls on the second-to-last syllable in most Dutch words.
- The 'ee' in 'stellingen' is a diphthong and must remain together.
- The 'v' in 'voor' is a voiced fricative and can be part of the onset.
- Dutch syllable division can be flexible, but this analysis prioritizes maximizing onsets.
