Onset Maximization

Prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters as onsets whenever possible.

Consonant-Vowel Structure

Basic syllable structure rule, forming syllables around a vowel nucleus.

Syllabic Consonant

Allows consonants to form syllables after vowels, particularly in unstressed positions.

  • Complex consonant clusters ('elsesar') require careful application of onset maximization. Dialectal variations may affect vowel quality but generally don't alter syllable division.
