Onset Maximization
Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Vowel Hiatus Avoidance
Vowel hiatus is generally avoided by creating syllables around consonant boundaries.
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The 'd' in 'drukvermindering' could potentially be the start of a new syllable, but it's retained with 'druk' due to the common 'dr' onset.
