Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'for-').

Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel.

Sonority Sequencing

Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).

  • The palatalization of 'd' before 'e' is a common phonetic feature but doesn't affect the orthographic syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't alter the syllable division.
