• Syllable Weight: Long vowels and closed syllables (ending in a consonant) tend to be more prominent.

Regional variations in pronunciation (e.g., the realization of 'v') might slightly affect the phonetic transcription, but not the syllable division. The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
