Compound Word Syllabification

Each component of a compound word is syllabified independently before being combined.

  • The hyphenated structure requires treating each part as a separate unit for initial syllabification. Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant factor in pronunciation, but doesn't alter the syllabic structure.
