Onset-Rime

Each syllable consists of an onset (consonant) and a rime (vowel or vowel-consonant combination).

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Russian syllabification generally avoids breaking up consonant clusters within a syllable.

Vowel Reduction

Unstressed vowels are often reduced in pronunciation, but this does not affect syllable division.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.
  • Palatalization of consonants before front vowels.
  • The compound nature of the word influences its morphological structure.
