Maximize Onsets

Prioritize creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel as its nucleus.

Syllable Closure

Consonants can close syllables, especially common clusters like 'ng'.

  • Geminate consonants (doubled consonants) like 'ss' affect vowel length.
  • Compound word structure influences stress placement.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not affect syllable division.
