Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible, such as in 'nærm-'.

Open Syllable Preference

Syllables tend to be open (CV) rather than closed (CVC) when possible, as seen in 'til'.

Moraic Weight

Longer vowels influence syllable weight and stress, contributing to the stress pattern.

  • The consonant cluster '-rm-' is not complex enough to warrant syllable separation.
  • The '-ings-' suffix is a common and well-established morphological unit, posing no syllabification challenges.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they do not significantly alter the syllable division.
