Dutch favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). Syllable divisions are made to maximize the number of open syllables.

Consonant clusters are generally not broken up unless absolutely necessary. This is evident in 'vergunningen'.

Syllable divisions often align with morpheme boundaries, but this is not a strict rule.
- The final '-en' can be reduced to /ə/ in rapid speech.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'g' sound (/ɣ/ vs. /ɡ/).
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
