Maximize Onset Principle

Vowel Sequence Rule

Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable, leading to the division between 'mu' and 'ne'.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.

  • The geminate consonant 'ss' is phonemically distinct and influences syllable weight.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect the core syllabification.
