• Rule 1: Vowel-based division: Syllables are generally formed around vowels. (e.g., pro-pri)
• Rule 2: Maximizing Onsets: Consonant clusters are broken to create pronounceable onsets. (e.g., tă-ți)
• Rule 3: Diphthong/Triphthong Preservation: Diphthongs and triphthongs remain within a single syllable. (e.g., 'e' in 'e-ta')
