Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable to maximize the onset.
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.
- The 'j' sound is a glide and doesn't significantly affect syllable division in this case.
- Regional variations in pronunciation are minor and unlikely to alter the syllable structure.
