Vowel Nucleus Rule
Each vowel (or diphthong/triphthong) forms a syllable nucleus. Consonants are assigned to the nearest vowel nucleus.
Penultimate Stress Rule
Stress falls on the penultimate syllable if it contains a stressed vowel and the final syllable is not a diphthong or triphthong.
- The presence of the clitic pronoun '-lhes-' does not alter the core syllabification rules but creates a longer syllable.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., Brazilian Portuguese) may affect phonetic realization but not syllabification.
