Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are maintained at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'spl' in 'splitt').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 's' in 'ses').
Geminate Consonants
Geminate consonants ('tt') are treated as a single lengthened consonant for syllabification, but their phonetic length is maintained.
- The geminate consonant 'tt' requires consideration for both syllabification and phonetic realization.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may occur, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
