Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster that cannot be broken up.
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are often divided around vowels, with each vowel typically forming the nucleus of a syllable.
- The length of the word and the presence of multiple consonant clusters require careful application of the onset maximization rule.
