Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, respecting their boundaries.

  • The 'x' sound /ks/ is treated as a single onset.
  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel realization but not core syllabification.
