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