Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Attempting to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable.
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Avoidance of Syllable-Final Consonant Clusters: Where possible, consonant clusters are broken up to avoid ending a syllable with multiple consonants.
