Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maintained at the beginning of syllables to maximize onsets (e.g., 'straff', 'ans').

Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are often divided after vowels followed by consonants (e.g., 'var', 'lig').

  • Geminate consonants (like 'ff' in 'straff') are generally maintained within the syllable.
  • Regional dialects might exhibit slight vowel variations, but these do not significantly alter the core syllable division.
