Maximize Onsets

Prioritize creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.

Vowel-Consonant Boundary

Syllables are generally divided at vowel-consonant boundaries, unless maximizing onsets is possible.

  • Possible reduction or elision of 'r' in colloquial speech, but doesn't affect syllabification.
  • Schwa reduction in unstressed syllables is possible but not always realized in careful speech.
