Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'st', 'stj').
Vowel Sequences
Each vowel sound generally forms a separate syllable (though diphthongs are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable).
Syllable Weight
Long vowels and consonant clusters contribute to syllable weight, influencing stress placement.
- The consonant clusters '-stg-' and '-stj-' are common and do not pose exceptional challenges.
- Double consonants ('-nn-', '-st-') influence syllable weight but do not alter the basic syllabification rules.
