Open Syllable Preference

Romanian favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). Syllables are formed to maximize vowel-final structures.

Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they violate sonority principles. The 'ns' cluster is a common example.

  • The 'ns' cluster is a common feature in Romanian and is generally not broken up during syllabification.
  • The stress pattern is typical for Romanian nouns ending in '-ări'.
