Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'sfor', 'dring').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone at the end of a syllable unless they form a valid coda (e.g., 'men', 'ta').
Vowel-Centric
Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
- The compound nature of the word influences stress placement.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might slightly affect the phonetic transcription, but not the syllable division.
