When a vowel is followed by a consonant, the syllable division typically occurs after the vowel, unless the consonant is part of a consonant cluster.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, especially at the end of a word.
- Potential vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (e.g., 'ter' might be pronounced /tɛr/ in some dialects).
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
