6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:

• gud-: /ɡʉd/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus. The 'd' closes the syllable, but is still part of the onset for the next syllable.

• -e-: /ɛ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel nucleus forms the syllable.
• -ne-: /nːə/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel nucleus forms the syllable. The 'n' is geminated (doubled) due to the preceding 'stj' cluster.
