Avoidance of Isolated Consonants

Consonants are generally not left as single-letter syllables unless they function as a vowel.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (alveolar trill vs. tap).
  • Slight vowel quality variations depending on dialect.
  • The word is a compound, which influences the syllabification but doesn't introduce major exceptions.
