Vowel-centric Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowels, with consonants assigned to the adjacent syllable.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken after the first vowel.

Pronoun Clitic Separation

Pronoun clitics (like 'vos') form their own syllables.

Penultimate Stress

In words ending in vowels, the stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable.

  • The presence of the pronoun clitic 'vos' adds complexity but doesn't alter the core syllabification rules.
  • The length of the word requires careful application of consonant cluster resolution.
