Onset Maximization
Syllables prefer to maximize their onsets (initial consonant sounds). This is why 'par-' is a syllable on its own.
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must have a vowel peak.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Sounds within a syllable are ordered by sonority (loudness), with higher sonority sounds closer to the peak.
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.
