Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'stj', 'skr').
Vowel Sequences
Each vowel generally forms a separate syllable, unless it's part of a diphthong (e.g., 'ne' is a separate syllable).
Stress Placement
Primary stress is typically placed on the first syllable of compound nouns.
- The long vowel /uː/ in 'skru' could potentially lead to alternative syllabification, but maximizing onsets takes precedence.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but generally do not affect syllable division.
