Open Syllable Preference

Dutch syllabification prioritizes creating open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible. This is applied throughout the word.

Consonant Cluster Division

Consonant clusters are split to create open syllables, but cautiously to avoid unnatural divisions. The 'cht' cluster is treated as a single unit due to its common occurrence in Dutch.

Compound Word Syllabification
