Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is followed in all syllables.

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, allowing for clear separation of roots and suffixes.

  • The double consonants (gg, nn, ll) are maintained within syllables to preserve pronunciation.
  • The connecting vowel 'er' is treated as a separate syllable due to its reduced vowel quality.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the vowel quality, but the syllable division remains consistent.
