Vowel Sequencing

Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., 'te', 've', 'li').

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

  • The length of the word and its compound structure require careful application of syllable division rules.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
