• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

11. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables, or exhibit a more pronounced /k/ sound in the /ks/ cluster. However, these variations don't fundamentally alter the syllable division.
