Onset-Rime Division

Syllables are divided based on the consonant-vowel boundary. Consonants typically form the onset, and vowels form the rime.

Open Syllable Rule

Syllables ending in a vowel are considered open syllables.

Closed Syllable Rule

Syllables ending in a consonant are considered closed syllables.

  • Liaison between the verb form and the clitic pronoun 'lhes' can occur, but the syllabification prioritizes the orthographic representation.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (e.g., trill vs. flap) do not affect the syllabification.
