Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'prze-' and 'krys-'
Sonority Sequencing
Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless phonotactic constraints require it.
- The *prze-* prefix can sometimes be separated in rapid speech, but standard syllabification treats it as a single onset.
- The conditional particle *-by-* is often reduced in colloquial speech.
