Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'szes').
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a natural coda (e.g., 'tych').
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable typically contains a vowel (e.g., 'nie', 'sto').
- The word contains several consonant clusters, which are common in Polish but require careful syllabification to avoid creating overly complex syllables.
- The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in '-tych' is a typical feature of Polish and doesn't affect the syllabification process.
