Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'lan').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a natural coda (e.g., 'nes').
Vowel Hiatus
Vowels are generally separated into different syllables (e.g., 'bu', 'se').
- The 'ns' cluster is a common onset and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
- The final 'e' in 'teneste' can be reduced or elided in rapid speech, but doesn't affect the core syllabification.
- Regional variations might affect vowel pronunciation but not syllable division.
