Maximize Onsets
Polish syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with consonant onsets whenever possible. This is evident in the 'prz' cluster being treated as a single onset.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This is why 'mi' forms its own syllable.
Penultimate Stress
Polish generally stresses the second-to-last syllable.
- The 'prz' cluster is a common exception to the typical consonant-vowel syllable structure, being treated as a single onset.
- Inflectional endings like '-mi' always form separate syllables.
