Maximize Onsets
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Avoid Single-Letter Syllables
Syllables are generally avoided if they consist of a single vowel or consonant.

- Nasal vowels ('ę') influence syllable structure.
- The genitive plural inflection '-ch' is a single syllable despite its complex sound.
