6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable. This is observed in the division between "про" and "иг". The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant factor in pronunciation, but doesn't affect the syllabification itself.
