Maximize Onset
Syllables are formed by maximizing the number of consonants in the onset, as seen in 'trans-' and 'por-'. Consonant clusters are permissible.
Vowel as Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel, which serves as the nucleus. Syllables are formed around the vowels.
Coda Formation
Consonants following the vowel form the syllable coda, as in 'son-' and 'nas'.
- The geminate consonant 'n' in 'son-' does not affect syllable division. Regional vowel variations do not alter syllable boundaries.
