Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally maintained at the beginning of syllables whenever possible.

Vowel Quality

Syllable boundaries are often determined by changes in vowel quality.

Compound Word Division

Compound words are divided based on the constituent morphemes, but also considering phonotactic constraints.

  • The 's' between 'bronse' and 'for' could theoretically initiate its own syllable, but the compound nature of the word favors including it in the 'bronse' syllable.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation of 'r' (trill vs. tap) do not significantly affect syllable division.
