Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, favoring the placement of less sonorous consonants at the end of a syllable.

Open Syllable Preference

Romanian favors open syllables (ending in a vowel).

  • The final schwa /ə/ is a common feature in Romanian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
  • The initial *tuber-* cluster requires careful consideration of sonority to determine the syllable break.
