Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are generally split so that consonants are not left stranded at the end of a syllable. Consonants are assigned to the syllable they are most closely associated with phonologically.

  • The 'qu' cluster is a borrowing from Italian and is pronounced /kʷ/ in Romanian.
  • The word's Italian origin influences its stress pattern, deviating slightly from the typical Romanian penultimate stress.
  • The final '-ei' is a standard Romanian masculine plural definite article ending.
