Maximize Onsets

Vowel Grouping
Vowel sequences are generally divided into separate syllables, unless they form a diphthong.
- The geminate consonant 'nn' in 'funn' affects syllable weight and pronunciation.
- The linking 's' is a common feature in compound nouns and doesn't typically create a separate syllable.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the stress pattern, but the core syllable division remains consistent.
