Sonority Sequencing Principle

Maximizing Onset Principle

Consonants are assigned to the onset of a syllable whenever possible.

  • The double 'k' in 'fikk' is a geminate consonant and treated as a single sound within the syllable.
  • Regional variations might reduce the 'r' sound, but this doesn't affect the core syllabification.
