Word Parts
Open Syllable Preference
Romanian favors syllable divisions that create open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible.
Consonant Cluster Avoidance
Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex or involve specific sounds that are difficult to pronounce together.
- The hyphenated nature of the word requires treating the two components as relatively independent units for syllabification.
- The 'i' in 'iepurelui' could be analyzed as a semi-vowel in some phonetic interpretations, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllabic structure.
