Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'be-visst').

Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left alone to form a syllable.

  • The 'tt' sequence in 'retts' is a geminate consonant, influencing pronunciation but not syllable division.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't affect the core syllabification.
