Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, with the more sonorous vowel forming the nucleus of a syllable.

Clitic Pronouns

Clitic pronouns are often treated as separate syllables, but when encliticized, they integrate into the verb's syllabic structure.

Stress

Stress influences syllable prominence and can affect vowel reduction.

  • The 'lh' digraph represents a single phoneme /ʎ/. The enclitic pronoun 'lhe' could potentially be considered a separate prosodic word, but in this case, it's tightly integrated into the verb form.
