Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible, such as 'st' in 'stand'.

Moraic Weight

While not dominant here, vowel length can influence division in other words.

Linking morphemes like 's' are treated as separate syllables.

  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel realization.
  • The assimilation of 'd' to 'n' before 's' is a common colloquial feature but doesn't affect syllabification.
