Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus (rime) preceded by optional consonants (onset).

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority.

Moraic Weight

Long vowels and consonant clusters contribute to moraic weight, influencing stress placement.

  • The double consonant 'kk' creates a heavier syllable.
  • The suffix '-messig' is relatively long, but the division 'hets-mes-sig' is the most natural.
