Vowel Separation
Vowels between consonants are generally separated into different syllables (e.g., ho-no).
Consonant Cluster Separation
Consonant clusters are split based on sonority, with the more sonorous vowel forming the nucleus of a syllable (e.g., ri-fi).
Penultimate Stress
Words ending in vowels, 'n', or 's' are stressed on the second-to-last syllable.
Clitic Pronoun Separation
Clitic pronouns are generally treated as separate syllables.
- The '-lhes' clitic pronoun can sometimes be attached to the verb in faster speech, but for formal syllabification, it's treated as a separate syllable.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel reduction, but the syllabification remains consistent.
