Consonant clusters are generally maintained as onsets of subsequent syllables (e.g., 'skri').
Vowel Clusters
Vowel clusters are treated as single vowel sounds within a syllable, unless they create a hiatus that is broken by a glide.
Syllable Weight
Closed syllables (ending in a consonant) are preferred when possible.
- The velar fricative /ɣ/ pronunciation of 'g' is dialectal and doesn't affect syllable division.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common but doesn't alter the orthographic syllable division.
