Sonority Peak Principle

Each syllable aims for a sonority peak, typically a vowel.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are generally broken up to avoid ending a syllable with a consonant cluster.

Vowel Grouping

Vowel groups are often separated into different syllables.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables affects pronunciation but not orthographic syllable division.
  • The word's complexity requires careful application of syllabification rules to avoid incorrect divisions.
