Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are preferred in the onset position of a syllable. This is applied in 'o-ver' and 'vin-trings'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This is evident in the division of 'vin-trings'.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (trill vs. tap) do not affect syllable division.
- The potential division of 'vintr' as 'vin-ter' was considered but rejected in favor of maintaining the consonant cluster.
