Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable.

Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.

  • The linking vowel *-s-* doesn't typically form a syllable on its own.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of the 'h' sound.
