Avoid Illegal Syllable Structures
Romanian avoids syllables with complex consonant clusters in the coda unless they are borrowed.
- The word's length and borrowed origin could lead to alternative, less common syllabifications, but the proposed division is the most phonologically plausible.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the perceived syllable boundaries, but the core structure remains consistent.
