Maximize Open Syllables
Dutch favors CV (consonant-vowel) syllable structure. Syllable division aims to create as many open syllables as possible.
Consonant Cluster Handling

Penultimate Stress
Dutch generally places stress on the second-to-last syllable of a word.
- The division of 'rings' could be debated, but keeping 'rings' together avoids breaking up a common sound unit.
