• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible.
• Open Syllable Preference: Syllables tend to be open (CV) rather than closed (CVC).
• Compound Word Syllabification: Each component of a compound word is generally syllabified separately.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ng' cluster is treated as a single consonant for syllabification purposes. The tapped/trilled 'r' can influence the perceived length of the syllable.

Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (tapped, trilled, or uvular) might slightly affect the phonetic realization of the syllables, but not the syllabification itself.
