Onset Maximization

Avoidance of Syllable-Final Clusters
Syllable division avoids creating syllable-final consonant clusters where possible.
Vowel-Centric Syllables

- The 'gj' cluster is a palatalization and is treated as a single onset.
- Regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
