Word Parts
Maximize Onsets and Codas
Syllables are formed to maximize the number of consonants in the onset and coda positions, while avoiding illegal consonant clusters.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone to begin a new syllable unless necessary due to phonotactic constraints.
- The consonant cluster 'ts' is common in Swedish and doesn't pose a syllabification issue.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they won't significantly alter the syllabification.
