• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Avoid Breaking Diphthongs: Diphthongs (vowel combinations) are kept within a single syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority hierarchy, favoring the placement of more sonorous sounds in the nucleus.
