Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as the nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, with less sonorous sounds preceding more sonorous sounds.

  • Brazilian Portuguese palatalization of /ɾ/ to /ɫ/ after /i/ does not affect syllabification.
  • The combination of multiple suffixes and the reflexive pronoun does not create any unique syllabification challenges.
