Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'mas', 'nist').
Vowel Peak
Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone at the end of a syllable unless part of a cluster.
- The 'sk' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- The 'for' prefix can be elided in rapid speech but maintains syllabic identity in standard pronunciation.
