Maximize Onsets
Polish syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Avoid Single-Letter Syllables
The rule aims to avoid creating syllables consisting of a single vowel or consonant.
- Consonant cluster simplification is rare in Polish, so clusters are generally maintained within syllables.
- The conditional mood suffix '-byście' is a common feature of Polish verb conjugation and doesn't significantly alter syllabification rules.
