Open Syllable Preference

Avoid Single Initial Consonants
Consonant clusters are maintained to avoid leaving single consonants at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'str' in 'stim').
Vowel Grouping
Vowels are grouped into syllables based on pronunciation and stress patterns.
- The 'str' and 'ng' consonant clusters are common in Dutch and do not pose special syllabification challenges.
- The schwa /ə/ sound in unstressed syllables can sometimes lead to variations in pronunciation, but doesn't affect the syllabification.
