Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets (e.g., 'sch-').
Vowel-Consonant Division
Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable, followed by any consonants.
Coda Preference
Dutch prefers syllables with codas (consonants following the vowel).
- The 'ge-' infix can sometimes be debated, but is treated as a separate syllable here.
