Vowel Sound Principle
Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable, unless they are easily separable based on pronunciation (e.g., 'str' remains together).
Avoid Digraph Splitting
Digraphs (like 'oo') are not split across syllable boundaries.
- Schwa reduction in unstressed syllables significantly affects pronunciation.
- The 'str' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- Compound word stress patterns can be complex and influenced by the structure of the final constituent.
