Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are maintained at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'st' in 'stilling').
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable without a following vowel (e.g., 'tje' instead of 'tj').
Vowel-Centric Syllabification
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
- The 'st' cluster is a common onset and doesn't require special treatment.
