Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are split according to sonority (e.g., 'na-ve').

Prefix Separation

Prefixes are generally separated from the root (e.g., 'cir-cum').

Clitic Pronoun Attachment

Clitic pronouns are treated as separate syllables attached to the verb (e.g., 'lhe').

  • The 'lh' digraph is treated as a single phoneme but remains 'lh' for syllabification.
  • Nasalization of vowels influences pronunciation but not syllabification.
  • The complex combination of prefix, root, clitic pronoun, and personal ending requires careful application of syllabification rules.
