• kin-: /kɪn/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s) forming an onset for the next syllable. Potential exception: The 'sk' cluster could be considered a complex onset, but is treated as a simple onset here.
• le-: /leː/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). No special cases.
• si-: /ˈsiː/ - Open syllable, stressed. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). Stress assignment based on penultimate syllable rule.
