Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus. Syllables are formed around the vowel.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant, especially if it's a sonorant.

Palatalization Rule

Palatalized consonants influence syllable structure and vowel quality.

  • The 'н' in 'нен-' could potentially be part of the following syllable in some analyses, but the standard rule favors breaking the cluster.
  • Regional variations in vowel reduction might occur in unstressed syllables.
