Onset Maximization
Attempting to create syllables with as many consonants in the onset as possible (e.g., 'kv', 'dr').
Vowel Centering

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.
- The 'dr' cluster is a potential edge case, but is treated as a single onset in this word.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter vowel quality, but not syllabification.
