Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'sti').
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.
- The 'j' sound does not affect the syllable division in this case.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation are unlikely to alter the syllable structure.
