Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.

Sonority Sequencing

Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with higher sonority elements (vowels) being more prominent.

  • The 'skj' cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' may exist.
  • Assimilation of 'n' to following consonants is possible but doesn't affect syllable division.
