Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'gj', 'sk').

Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are typically divided after vowels followed by consonants.

  • The 'gj' and 'sn' clusters are treated as single onsets, though variations exist.
  • Geminate consonants ('tt') lengthen the preceding vowel.
  • Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation do not affect syllabification.
