Vowel Rule
Each vowel generally forms a syllable.
Onset Rule
Consonants preceding a vowel form the onset of the syllable.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters can form onsets or codas, depending on the consonants involved. 'rr' is treated as a single onset.
Clitic Pronoun Rule
Pronoun clitics like *lhes* form their own syllables.
- The 'rr' cluster requires special consideration as it represents a strong, trilled 'r' sound.
- The nasal vowel /ɐ̃/ in *íamos* is a common feature of Portuguese and doesn't affect syllabification directly.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of /ʁ/ do not affect syllabification.
