Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a diphthong or a permissible coda.

Each syllable generally contains a vowel.

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the individual root words and their inherent stress patterns.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation of the 'r' sound could affect the phonetic transcription but not the syllabification.
