Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'st' in 'stem').

Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, serving as the nucleus.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a permissible consonant cluster (e.g., 'ng' in 'ning').

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
  • The 'jols' cluster is a relatively stable unit and is treated as a single syllable.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
