Maximize Onsets

Penultimate Stress
Stress typically falls on the second-to-last syllable, though suffixation can shift it.
- The 'rz' digraph is treated as a single phoneme.
- Palatalization of consonants before 'i' and 'y' influences pronunciation and syllabification.
- Nasal vowels require careful consideration in syllable structure.
