Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Attempt to create syllables with as many consonants in the onset as possible (e.g., *dwu-*).
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Avoid leaving consonants without a following vowel.
Vowel Linking
Use linking vowels (like 'o' in *o-śmio-*) to connect consonant clusters.
Stress-Based Reduction
Unstressed vowels are often reduced in pronunciation, but this doesn't affect syllable division.
- The *dwu-* cluster requires a glide to form a syllable. The *o-śmio-* sequence is a typical linking vowel construction.
