Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'str' in 'streik').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., a single consonant after a vowel).

Vowel-centric Syllabification

Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.

  • The double 'n' in 'sunn' could potentially lead to alternative divisions, but maximizing onsets favors keeping it within the first syllable.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but syllable division remains consistent.
