Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with vowels as peaks.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up to create consonant-vowel syllables, except for indivisible clusters like 'нт'.

Maximizing Onsets

Syllables prefer to have onsets (initial consonants) whenever possible.

  • The 'нт' cluster within the root is treated as a single unit, a common feature in Russian syllabification.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant phonological feature but doesn't alter the syllable division.
