Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'sto' and 'wy'.
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable generally contains a vowel, dictating the division points.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless part of a permissible cluster.
- The length of the word and the complex morphology require careful application of syllabification rules.
- The instrumental plural ending '-mi' can be a source of ambiguity, but is consistently treated as a separate syllable here.
- Potential vowel reduction in unstressed syllables doesn't affect the orthographic syllabification.
