Vowel Separation

Syllables are separated at vowel boundaries (e.g., de-pro).

Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they violate sonority principles (e.g., ver-lhes).

Penultimate Stress

Words ending in vowels are generally stressed on the penultimate syllable (e.g., ia-mos).

Enclitic Pronoun Attachment

Enclitic pronouns are attached to the verb stem and syllabified accordingly (e.g., ver-lhes).

  • The 'v' before 'lhes' could potentially be a syllable onset, but Portuguese generally prefers to maintain the 'ver' cluster within a single syllable.
  • The conditional ending '-íamos' is a common pattern and doesn't present any unusual syllabification challenges.
