Compound Word Syllabification

Syllabification respects the boundaries of the constituent morphemes within a compound.

  • Regional variations in pronunciation of velar fricatives (/ɣ/ and /ɡ/) may occur, but do not affect syllabification.
  • The word is consistently a noun, so there are no syllabification or stress shifts based on grammatical function.
