Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Polish syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with complex onsets whenever possible, grouping consonants together to form permissible clusters.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
The division aims to avoid leaving single consonants at the beginning of a syllable unless they form a natural onset.
- Numerous consonant clusters require careful application of onset maximization rules.
- Palatalization of consonants before 'i' affects pronunciation but not syllabification.
