Onset-Rime Division

Separates the syllable into its onset (initial consonant(s)) and rime (vowel and following consonants).

Maximal Onset Principle (MOP)

Assigns as many consonants as possible to the onset of a syllable, provided it doesn't violate phonotactic constraints.

  • Consonant cluster 'str' is common and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
  • Potential vowel quality variations in some dialects (e.g., /ʉ/ instead of /u/).
