Maximize Onset
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless absolutely necessary.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy, with more sonorous sounds (vowels) being the nucleus and less sonorous sounds (consonants) forming the onset and coda.
- The complex consonant clusters (e.g., 'ntg', 'sc') require careful consideration to avoid stranded consonants.
- Palatalization of consonants (indicated by 'ʲ') affects syllable structure and pronunciation.
