Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets (e.g., 'st' in 'stank').
Coda Preference
Consonants are preferred in codas where possible.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Syllable divisions avoid leaving single consonants without a vowel.
Geminate Consonant Rule
Geminate consonants (like 'nn') create heavier syllables and can influence stress.
- The epenthetic 't' in 'tvann' is a common feature and doesn't alter the core syllable division rules.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect vowel duration but not syllable structure.
