Onset Maximization
The syllable division attempts to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable (e.g., 'ord', 're').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left stranded at the end of a syllable if they can be incorporated into the onset of the following syllable.
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of /r/ (alveolar tap vs. uvular fricative) may exist, but do not significantly affect syllable division.
- The word is a fixed compound noun, so syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function.
