Vowel Grouping
Vowels are generally grouped into syllables based on sonority.
Consonant Clustering
Consonant clusters are split according to the Maximal Onset Principle, but only if the resulting onset is legal in Portuguese.
Open vs. Closed Syllables
Syllables ending in vowels are open; those ending in consonants are closed.
Clitic Pronoun Separation
Clitic pronouns are treated as separate syllables.
- The presence of the clitic pronoun *lhe-* introduces a slight complexity, as it's a separate prosodic unit but attached to the verb.
- The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in *lhe* is common in Portuguese and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
