Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'kr-', 'kor-').
Vowel Centering
Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

- The 'sk' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- The '-en' ending is a clear marker of the definite article and is always a separate syllable.
