Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 're', 'fe', 'ren').
Vowel Centering
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This dictates the division points.
Compound Word Syllabification
Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.
- The pronunciation of 'r' can vary regionally (uvular vs. alveolar), but this does not affect syllable division.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a phonetic variation, not a change in syllabification.
