Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are preferred in the onset of a syllable rather than being split across syllables.

Avoid Syllable-Final Consonants

Where possible, consonants are included in the onset to avoid ending a syllable with a consonant.

  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
  • The compound nature of the word influences stress placement.
