Maximize Onsets

The syllable division attempts to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable (e.g., 'st' in 'stand').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

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

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are typically divided around vowel sounds. Each vowel nucleus forms the core of a syllable.

  • The 'd' in 'motstand' can be elided in rapid speech, but this doesn't change the underlying syllable division.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of vowel length, but not the syllable structure.
