Onset-Rime

Each syllable is divided into an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants).

Maximum Onset Principle (MOP)

Consonants are assigned to the onset of the following syllable if doing so maximizes the number of consonants in onsets.

  • The 'ng' cluster in 'nings-' could be analyzed differently, but is treated as a consonant cluster within the rime here. Compound word structure influences syllable boundaries.
