Consonant Cluster Avoidance
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable and do not affect the meaning of the word.
- The 'pro-' syllable could potentially be considered a clitic in some analyses, but is generally treated as a full syllable in standard syllabification.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the perceived length of vowels, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
