Consonant Clusters
Portuguese allows consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables, as seen with 'rr' in 'rri'.
Clitic Pronoun Attachment
Clitic pronouns like '-lhes' are attached to the verb and syllabified as part of the verb form.
- The presence of the clitic pronoun '-lhes' requires careful consideration during syllabification. The palatalization of 'lh' to /ʃ/ is a standard phonetic process. The 'rr' sound can be simplified in rapid speech, but the written form maintains the double 'r'.
