Onset Maximization
Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'st' in 'sting'.
Vowel-Centric
Syllables are generally built around vowel sounds, dictating the boundaries between syllables.
Avoid Breaking Clusters
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are exceptionally long or complex.
- The infix '-be-' doesn't significantly alter the syllabification rules.
- The long word length and multiple suffixes require careful application of the vowel-centric and onset maximization principles.
