Maximize Onset
Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'sh' in 'shol').
Vowel-Consonant Division
Syllable division typically occurs after a vowel followed by a consonant (e.g., 'd-nings', 'sil').
- The 'sh' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- The 'd' before 'nings' could potentially lead to a different division, but the tendency to keep consonant clusters together as onsets favors the current division.
