Vowel-Based Syllabification

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable. Syllables are formed around vowel sounds.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally assigned to the syllable that creates the least complex syllable structure (fewer consonants in the onset or coda).

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are broken up in a way that minimizes the number of consonants in the onset or coda of a syllable.

  • The word contains several consonant clusters, requiring careful application of the 'avoid stranded consonants' rule.
  • Romanian vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is not reflected in the orthography, but affects pronunciation.
