Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters (e.g., 'pr', 'stj') are kept together at the beginning of a syllable.
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.
- The 'j' sound can sometimes be ambiguous, but is clearly part of the 'stasj-' root in this case.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter vowel qualities, but not the syllable division.
