Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'dwu' and 'trzy'.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
The syllabification avoids creating syllables consisting of only a single vowel.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.
- Consonant clusters are common in Polish and must be accounted for in syllabification.
- The 'dw' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables can occur, but doesn't affect the syllabification.
