Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds closer to the vowel.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (e.g., trill vs. approximant) do not affect the syllable division.
- The compound nature of the word doesn't introduce any exceptional syllabification rules.
