Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Maximum Onset Principle
Consonants are assigned to the onset of a syllable as long as it doesn't create an illegal consonant cluster.
Avoid Consonant Clusters at Syllable Start
Romanian generally avoids starting syllables with consonant clusters.
Coda Constraint
Syllables can have codas (consonants after the vowel), but there are limitations on which consonants can form codas.
- The 'eu' diphthong is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes.
- The final 'st' cluster is permissible as a coda.
