Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'dr-' in 'drivende').

Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable contains a vowel sound.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a valid coda.

  • The 'd' in 'drivende' could potentially be part of the following syllable, but keeping it with 'ri' creates a more natural onset.
