Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, while considering the overall stress pattern.

  • The complex consonant clusters (e.g., 'stuw-') require careful consideration of onset maximization.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables can occur, but doesn't alter the core syllabification.
  • The word's length and compound structure necessitate a detailed morphemic analysis.
