Word Parts
Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are generally treated as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'str-' in 'stronicowy').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left as the sole element of a syllable unless absolutely necessary.
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel (or a syllabic consonant).
- The complex consonant clusters in Polish require careful application of onset maximization.
- The interfix '-na-' is a common feature in Polish morphology and influences syllable division.
