Maximize Open Syllables
Dutch prefers open syllables (CV). Syllable divisions are made to create as many CV syllables as possible.
Avoid Single Consonant Onset
Consonant clusters are generally maintained as onsets rather than splitting syllables.
- The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- Compound word stress can deviate from the general rule of first-syllable stress.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
