Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables are structured to follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.
- The double consonant 'nn' in 'nings' is maintained within the syllable due to the need to preserve the geminate consonant.
- The linking vowel 'a' forms a separate syllable due to its short duration and function as a connector between the root and suffix.
