Glide + Vowel

Glides (like 'j') form the onset of a syllable followed by a vowel.

  • The 'gj' cluster is treated as a single unit.
  • Consonant clusters like 'vfr' and 'sj' are handled according to onset maximization principles.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not typically affect syllable division.
