Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to create syllables with onsets whenever possible.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a consonant cluster.
- The presence of affricates and palatalized consonants (ś, ć, ź, dź, ń) requires careful consideration.
- Consonant clusters (e.g., 'środk-', 'afryk-') influence syllable weight.
- Nasal vowels (ą, ę) can affect syllable structure.
