Syllable Weight Rules
These are lifted straight from Latin.
A syllable is short, unless one of the following conditions are met:
- It contains a diphthong, which in Triparik means one of: ä, æ, ø, ŏ.
- Its vowel is placed before more than one consonant.
- Note that x counts as two consonants (/ks/).
- Likewise cz and j count as two consonants, since they are affricates and thus "heavy" sounds.
- A stop-liquid cluster (b, d, g, p, t, or k followed by r or l), by itself, counts as just one consonant.
