Vowel-Consonant Division
Syllables are generally divided after vowels, unless followed by a consonant cluster that can form an onset.
- The 'sk' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- The geminate 'nn' in 'funn' affects syllable weight but doesn't change the division.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /sæm/ instead of /sɑm/) do not affect syllable division.
