There are fixed rules for breaking syllables between vowels, but AFAIK not=
=20
between consonants. Thus {tciuaua} is /tciu,AU,a/, but {baknrto} (some anim=
al=20
mentioned in the food laws in Deuteronomy) could be /BA,knrto/ (which is wh=
at=20
valfendi does internally), /BAK,nr,to/ (which is how I pronounce it),=20
/BA,kn,rto/, autc.
