Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences.

Vowel Length

Geminate consonants (double consonants) lengthen the preceding vowel, influencing syllable weight.

  • The 'kj' cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
