Vowel-centric Syllabification

Each syllable contains a vowel, and consonants are assigned to the nearest vowel to form the onset or coda.

Maximizing Onsets

Consonant clusters are maximized in the onset position whenever possible, as seen with 'rz', 'kt', and 'ść'.

Consonant Clusters

Complex consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority hierarchy, prioritizing the formation of valid onsets.

  • The palatalization of 'k' to 'kʲ' before 'e' influences the phonetic realization but doesn't alter the syllabic structure.
  • The 'rz' cluster is treated as a single onset, despite being a digraph.
  • The stress pattern can be influenced by the length and complexity of the word, but generally follows the penultimate stress rule.
