Vowel-based Syllabification
Syllables are generally formed around vowels. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable are allowed, as seen in 'tra' and 'cl'.
Palatalization
The 'd' sound before 'e' or 'i' becomes /d͡ʒ/.
- The inclusion of the clitic pronoun 'lhes' doesn't alter the core syllabification rules.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of /ʎ/ (lhes) may occur, but do not affect syllable division.
