Portuguese Syllabification Module

OVERVIEW:
=========
This module implements a rule-based syllabification algorithm for Portuguese text.
Syllabification is the process of dividing words into syllables, which are the
fundamental rhythmic units of speech.

WHAT IS A SYLLABLE?
===================
A syllable is a unit of pronunciation that contains:
- A nucleus (required): Usually a vowel sound (the "peak" of the syllable)
- An onset (optional): Consonant(s) before the nucleus
- A coda (optional): Consonant(s) after the nucleus

Examples in English:
- "cat" [kæt]: onset=k, nucleus=æ, coda=t (one syllable)
- "happy" [hæ.pi]: two syllables
  - Syllable 1: onset=h, nucleus=æ
  - Syllable 2: onset=p, nucleus=i

Examples in Portuguese:
- "casa" [ka.za]: two syllables
  - Syllable 1: onset=k, nucleus=a
  - Syllable 2: onset=z, nucleus=a
- "Brasil" [bra.zil]: two syllables
  - Syllable 1: onset=br (consonant cluster), nucleus=a
  - Syllable 2: onset=z, nucleus=i, coda=l

PORTUGUESE SYLLABLE STRUCTURE:
==============================
Portuguese syllables follow the "Sonority Sequencing Principle":
- Sonority increases toward the nucleus (vowel)
- Sonority decreases after the nucleus

Preferred structure: CV (Consonant-Vowel)
- Portuguese "loves" CV syllables - they're the most common
- Example: "pa.pa.gai.o" (parrot) - all CV syllables

Complex syllables exist but are less common:
- CCV: "pra.to" (plate) - onset cluster 'pr'
- CVC: "por.ta" (door) - coda consonant 'r'
- V: "a.ve" (bird) - no onset
- VC: "es.ta" (is) - no onset, has coda

METHODOLOGY NOTE:
=================
This implementation is EMPIRICAL rather than purely theoretical:
- It was developed by testing against a large lexicon (53,000+ words)
- Rules were iteratively refined to maximize accuracy
- Some decisions are pragmatic compromises rather than linguistic absolutes
- Current accuracy: ~99.6% (53,154 correct out of 53,349 words)

# =============================================================================
# DIACRITIC CONSTANTS: Portuguese Accent Marks
# =============================================================================
#
# LINGUISTIC BACKGROUND ON PORTUGUESE DIACRITICS:
# ------------------------------------------------
# Portuguese uses diacritical marks (accents) for three purposes:
# 1. Indicate stress placement (which syllable is emphasized)
# 2. Indicate vowel quality (open vs. closed pronunciation)
# 3. Indicate nasalization (air flows through nose during vowel)
#
# Unlike English, Portuguese stress is semi-predictable and must often be marked.
# Example: "numero" (I number - verb) vs. "número" (number - noun) - stress changes meaning

# INVALID/ARCHAIC ACCENTS:
# ------------------------
# These exist in old texts or typos but are not standard modern Portuguese

BAD_GRAVE = "èìòù"  # INVALID - likely typing errors
# EXPLANATION: In modern Portuguese, only "à" (grave accent on 'a') is valid.
# This represents a contraction: preposition "a" + article "a" = "à"
# Example: "Vou à escola" (I go to the school)
# If you see "è", "ì", "ò", "ù", it's probably a mistake for acute accents.

BAD_NASAL = "ẽĩũ"  # INVALID - non-standard nasalization markers
# EXPLANATION: In Portuguese, only "ã" and "õ" use the tilde for nasalization.
# Nasalization means air flows through the nose during pronunciation.
# The vowels i, u, e don't get tilde in standard Portuguese.
# Example: "mão" [mãw̃] (hand) - nasal, but NOT "mĩo"
# If these appear, they're likely in loanwords or archaic texts.

BAD_CIRCUMFLEX = "îû"  # INVALID - non-standard softening markers
# EXPLANATION: Circumflex (^) marks closed vowel quality and stress.
# Only valid on a, e, o: "â", "ê", "ô"
# On i and u, circumflex is redundant (they're always pronounced "closed")
# Example: "você" [vo.ˈse] uses "ê" (valid), but "vî" would be invalid

# VALID ACCENTS IN MODERN PORTUGUESE:
# ------------------------------------

GRAVE = "à"  # Grave accent - only exists on 'a'
# PURPOSE: Marks a contraction (a + a = à), not stress or vowel quality
# Example: "à" in "Vou à praia" (I go to the beach)
# Historical note: Before 1973, grave marked secondary stress in compound words

ACUTE = "áéíóú" + BAD_GRAVE  # Acute accent - marks stress AND open vowel
# PURPOSE: 
# - Indicates primary stress (syllable emphasis)
# - For a/e/o: indicates OPEN vowel quality
# PHONETIC DISTINCTION:
#   "café" [ka.ˈfɛ] - open 'e' [ɛ] like in English "bet"
#   vs. "você" [vo.ˈse] - closed 'e' [e]
# For i/u: acute just marks stress (these vowels have no open/closed distinction)

NASAL = "ãõ" + BAD_NASAL  # Tilde - marks nasalization
# PURPOSE: Indicates nasal vowels (air flows through nose)
# PHONETIC EFFECT: Creates distinct phonemes, not just allophones
#   "mato" [ˈma.tu] = "bush" (oral vowel)
#   "manto" [ˈmɐ̃.tu] = "cloak" (nasal vowel) - different word!
# Only on 'a' and 'o' in modern Portuguese
# Also marks stress when word-final: "cão" [ˈkɐ̃w̃] (dog)

CIRCUMFLEX = "âêô" + BAD_CIRCUMFLEX  # Circumflex - marks stress AND closed vowel
# PURPOSE:
# - Indicates primary stress
# - For a/e/o: indicates CLOSED vowel quality
# PHONETIC DISTINCTION:
#   "avô" [a.ˈvo] - closed 'o' [o] like in English "go"
#   vs. "avó" [a.ˈvɔ] - open 'o' [ɔ] like in English "dog"
# Examples: "você" (you), "avô" (grandfather), "âmbito" (scope)

ACCENTED_VOWELS = ACUTE + CIRCUMFLEX + GRAVE + NASAL
# All vowels with diacritics combined

# VOWEL AND CONSONANT DEFINITIONS
# =============================================================================

# BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE L-VOCALIZATION:
# ------------------------------------
# NOTE: In Brazilian Portuguese, 'l' at the end of syllables → [w] sound
# This is called "l-vocalization" or "velarization"
# Example: 
#   European Portuguese: "Brasil" [bɾɐ.ˈziɫ] - dark L sound
#   Brazilian Portuguese: "Brasil" [bɾa.ˈziw] - becomes 'w' sound (like in "cow")
# This makes final 'l' behave like a vowel for syllabification purposes

FOREIGN_VOWELS = "yw"  # Letters that act as vowels in loanwords
# 'y' → pronounced like 'i': "hobby" [ˈhɔ.bi], "byte" [ˈbaj.tɨ]
# 'w' → pronounced like 'u': "web" [ˈwɛb], "show" [ˈʃow]
# These letters aren't in the traditional Portuguese alphabet but appear in
# borrowed words from English, German, etc.

VOWELS = list("aeiou" + ACCENTED_VOWELS + FOREIGN_VOWELS)
# Complete list of all characters that function as vowels
# Includes: a, e, i, o, u + all accented variants + foreign letters

SEMIVOWEL = "iu" + FOREIGN_VOWELS
# LINGUISTIC CONCEPT - SEMIVOWELS (GLIDES):
# -----------------------------------------
# Semivowels are vowel-like sounds that function as consonants
# In Portuguese, [j] and [w] are the semivowels:
# - [j]: written as 'i' or 'y', sounds like English 'y' in "yes"
# - [w]: written as 'u' or 'w', sounds like English 'w' in "wet"
#
# Whether a letter is a vowel or semivowel depends on its position:
# - As syllable nucleus → vowel: "rima" [ˈʁi.mɐ] - 'i' is a vowel
# - In diphthong → semivowel: "rei" [ˈʁej] - 'i' → [j] is a semivowel
#
# Example diphthongs:
# - "pai" [paj] - 'i' → [j] semivowel
# - "meu" [mew] - 'u' → [w] semivowel
# - "água" [ˈa.ɡwɐ] - 'u' → [w] semivowel

NASAL_CONSONANTS = "nm"
# These consonants can nasalize preceding vowels
# When 'm' or 'n' appears after a vowel at syllable end, the vowel becomes nasal
# Example: 
#   "campo" [ˈkɐ̃.pu] - 'a' becomes nasal before 'm'
#   "santo" [ˈsɐ̃.tu] - 'a' becomes nasal before 'n'
# The nasal consonant itself may not be fully pronounced


# =============================================================================
# DIGRAPH CONSTANTS: Two-Letter Units
# =============================================================================
#
# LINGUISTIC CONCEPT - DIGRAPHS:
# ------------------------------
# A digraph is two letters that represent ONE sound
# Like in English: "sh" in "ship", "th" in "think"
#
# Portuguese digraphs fall into two categories for syllabification:
# 1. INSEPARABLE: Always stay together in one syllable
# 2. SEPARABLE: Can be split across syllable boundaries

INSEPARABLE_DIGRAPHS = ["ch", "lh", "nh", "gu", "qu"]
# These ALWAYS belong in the same syllable - they represent single sounds
#
# PHONETIC REALIZATIONS:
# - "ch" [ʃ]: like English "sh" in "ship"
#   Example: "chuva" [ˈʃu.vɐ] (rain)
# - "lh" [ʎ]: palatal lateral (like Italian "gl" in "figlio")
#   Example: "filho" [ˈfi.ʎu] (son)
# - "nh" [ɲ]: palatal nasal (like Spanish "ñ" in "mañana")
#   Example: "inho" [ˈvi.ɲu] (wine)
# - "gu" [ɡ]: before 'e' or 'i', 'u' is silent (just makes 'g' hard)
#   Example: "guerra" [ˈɡɛ.ʁɐ] (war) - NOT "güerra"
# - "qu" [k]: before 'e' or 'i', 'u' is silent (just makes 'c' sound)
#   Example: "quero" [ˈke.ɾu] (I want) - NOT "küero"
#
# NOTE: "gu" and "qu" are tricky - sometimes 'u' IS pronounced:
#   "linguiça" [lĩ.ˈɡwi.sɐ] - 'u' is pronounced [w]
#   But this is context-dependent and requires a dictionary

SEPARABLE_DIGRAPHS = (["rr", "ss", "sc", "sç", "xs", "xc"] +
                      ["sl", "rl", "nl", "ct", "ll", "dl",
                       "lr", "sr", "nr"])
# Canonically, these would be split across syllables
#
# DOUBLED CONSONANTS (rr, ss, ll):
# - Portuguese spelling doubles consonants to preserve sound between vowels
# - "rr" [ʁ]: strong R sound (vs. single 'r' which is a tap [ɾ])
#   Example: "carro" [ˈka.ʁu] (car) vs. "caro" [ˈka.ɾu] (expensive)
# - "ss" [s]: voiceless S (vs. single 's' which becomes [z] between vowels)
#   Example: "passo" [ˈpa.su] (step) vs. "paso" (archaic/Spanish)
#
# CONSONANT CLUSTERS (ct, sc, etc.):
# - These split across syllable boundaries: "pac.to", "nas.cer"
# - They don't form valid syllable onsets (can't start a syllable together)
#
# NOTE: The second group (sl, rl, nl, etc.) is marked as "not canonical (?)"
# This means it's an empirical addition based on testing, not traditional
# Portuguese phonology rules. These patterns appear in the test data.

FOREIGN_DIGRAPHS = ["sh", "th", "ff"]
# These ALWAYS belong in the same syllable but only appear in loanwords
#
# PHONETIC REALIZATIONS IN PORTUGUESE:
# - "sh" [ʃ]: like English "sh", in words like "show" [ˈʃow]
# - "th" [t]: usually adapted to [t], rarely [θ] (English 'th' sound doesn't exist in Portuguese)
#   Example: "thriller" [ˈtɾi.lɛɾ] (not [ˈθɾɪ.lɚ] like in English)
# - "ff" [f]: just one [f] sound
#   Example: "graffiti" [ɡɾa.ˈfi.ti]


# =============================================================================
# SPECIAL TOKENIZATION STRATEGY
# =============================================================================

SPECIAL_TOKENS = {
    d[0].upper(): d for d in INSEPARABLE_DIGRAPHS + FOREIGN_DIGRAPHS
}
# Creates a mapping: {'C': 'ch', 'L': 'lh', 'N': 'nh', 'G': 'gu', 'Q': 'qu', 'S': 'sh', 'T': 'th', 'F': 'ff'}
#
# ALGORITHMIC TRICK:
# ------------------
# Problem: When scanning character by character, we might split digraphs
#   Example: "ch" might be seen as 'c' + 'h' instead of one unit
#
# Solution: Replace digraphs with single uppercase placeholder tokens
#   "chuva" → "Cuva" (temporarily)
#   Process as single characters
#   Then restore: "Cuva" → "chuva"
#
# This makes the main loop simpler - we treat digraphs as atomic units
# Example transformation:
#   "filho" → "fiLo" → process → "fi.Lo" → "fi.lho"

SYLL_STARTERS: List[str] = list(SPECIAL_TOKENS.keys()) + ["ç"]
# Characters/tokens that ALWAYS start a new syllable
# - All the special uppercase tokens (digraph placeholders)
# - "ç" (c-cedilla) [s]: like "s" in "stop"
#   Example: "caça" [ˈka.sɐ] (hunt)
#
# REASONING:
# When we encounter these in the middle of building a syllable,
# we know the previous syllable must end and a new one must begin


# =============================================================================
# CONSONANT CLUSTERS THAT CAN START SYLLABLES
# =============================================================================

CONSONANT_DIGRAPHS = INSEPARABLE_DIGRAPHS + FOREIGN_DIGRAPHS + [
    "pr", "br", "tr", "dr", "cr", "gr", "fr",  # Obstruent + r
    "pl", "bl", "cl", "gl", "fl",  # Obstruent + l
]


# These are consonant clusters that can START a syllable (valid onsets)
#
# PHONOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE:
# -----------------------
# Portuguese allows complex onsets following the "Sonority Sequencing Principle"
# Sonority hierarchy (low to high):
#   stops (p,b,t,d,k,g) < fricatives (f,v,s,z) < liquids (l,r) < vowels
#
# Valid onset clusters: consonant + liquid (r or l)
# - The second consonant must be MORE sonorous than the first
# - This creates a smooth rise in sonority toward the vowel nucleus
#
# EXAMPLES:
# - "pra.to" [ˈpɾa.tu] (plate) - 'pr' can start a syllable
# - "bra.sil" [bɾa.ˈziw] (Brazil) - 'br' can start a syllable
# - "flo.res.ta" [flu.ˈɾɛʃ.tɐ] (forest) - 'fl' can start a syllable
#
# COUNTEREXAMPLES (cannot start syllables):
# - *"rt" - violates sonority: stop + liquid is okay, but liquid + stop is not
# - *"sr" - violates sonority: fricative + liquid borderline
# - These would split: "par.te" not *"pa.rte", "Is.ra.el" not *"I.srael"

    Check if a three-vowel sequence is a valid triphthong.

    LINGUISTIC BACKGROUND - TRIPHTHONGS:
    ------------------------------------
    A triphthong is THREE vowel sounds pronounced in ONE syllable.
    Structure: semivowel + vowel + semivowel (G-V-G)

    Portuguese triphthongs are RARE. Most apparent triphthongs are actually:
    - Diphthong + separate vowel across syllable boundary (hiatus)
    - Or simply don't exist in native words

    TRUE TRIPHTHONGS (uncommon):
    - "Uruguai" [u.ɾu.ˈɡwaj] - in the syllable 'guai': [w] + [a] + [j]
    - "miau" [ˈmjaw] - onomatopoeia for cat: [j] + [a] + [w]
    - "enxaguei" [ẽ.ʃa.ˈɡwej] - past tense verb: [w] + [e] + [j]

    VALIDATION RULES:
    -----------------
    1. Must be exactly 3 characters (in orthography)
    2. All three must be vowel letters
    3. First character must be capable of being a semivowel (i, u, y, w)
    4. Middle character is the syllable nucleus (vowel)
    5. Last character must be capable of being a semivowel OR
       middle character has nasal marking (which extends to last character)
    6. Stress marks (accents) can only appear on the middle character

def validate_diphthong(diph: str, prev_char: str = "") -> bool:
    """
    Check if a two-vowel sequence is a valid diphthong.

    LINGUISTIC BACKGROUND - DIPHTHONGS:
    -----------------------------------
    A diphthong is TWO vowel sounds pronounced in ONE syllable.
    The vowels glide together smoothly without a syllable break.

    Structure can be:
    - Falling (descending): vowel + semivowel (V-G)
      Examples: "pai" [paj], "meu" [mew], "céu" [sɛw]
    - Rising (ascending): semivowel + vowel (G-V)
      Examples: "piano" [ˈpjɐ.nu], "água" [ˈa.ɡwɐ]

    DIPHTHONG vs. HIATUS:
    ---------------------
    The same two vowels can be either a diphthong OR hiatus depending on:
    - Pronunciation speed (fast → diphthong, slow → hiatus)
    - Dialect (Brazilian vs. European Portuguese differ)
    - Word morphology (prefix boundaries often force hiatus)

    Example ambiguity:
    - "saída" [sa.ˈi.dɐ] - hiatus (three syllables: sa-í-da)
    - "baile" [ˈbaj.lɨ] - diphthong (two syllables: bai-le)

    This function implements a conservative approach, assuming hiatus for
    many ambiguous cases to improve accuracy on the benchmark.

    VALIDATION RULES:
    -----------------
    1. Must be exactly 2 characters
    2. Both must be vowels
    3. Accents only allowed on first character (marks stress + quality)
    4. Acute accent on first usually indicates hiatus (stressed vowel can't

    Advanced hiatus detection with contextual rules.

    WHAT IS HIATUS?
    ---------------
    Hiatus (Portuguese: "hiato") is when two adjacent vowels are in DIFFERENT syllables.
    They are pronounced separately, not glided together.

    Example contrast:
    - Diphthong: "rei" [ˈʁej] - one syllable, vowels glide together
    - Hiatus: "rainha" [ʁa.ˈĩ.ɲɐ] - "a.i" are separate syllables

    WHEN DOES HIATUS OCCUR?
    ------------------------
    1. When vowels don't form a valid diphthong (checked by validate_diphthong)
    2. At morpheme boundaries (prefix + root, root + suffix)
    3. With certain phonological patterns specific to Portuguese

    This function adds CONTEXT-SENSITIVE rules beyond basic diphthong validation.

    CONTEXTUAL HIATUS RULES:
    ------------------------
    1. If not a valid diphthong → automatically hiatus
    2. Nasal vowels (ã, õ) prefer diphthongs (not hiatus)
    3. Word-final position favors diphthongs
    4. Repeated vowels → hiatus (aa, ee, ii, oo, uu)
    5. Reversed tilde → hiatus (e.g., "eã" not "ãe")
    6. After 'r' consonant → usually hiatus (except "ei")

    Args:

        is_end: True if this is at the end of a word

    # Example: "coordenar" [ko.oʁ.de.ˈnaʁ] - "oo" is hiatus (co.or.de.nar)
    if a == b:
        return True  # Hiatus

    # RULE 4: Reversed tilde position indicates hiatus
    # Tilde should be on FIRST vowel in valid nasal diphthongs (ão, ãe)
    # If tilde is on SECOND vowel, it's likely hiatus
    # Example: "ruão" would be hiatus
    if b in ["ã", "õ"]:
        return True  # Hiatus

    # RULE 5: After 'r', vowels usually form hiatus (except "ei")
    # This is a phonotactic pattern in Portuguese
    # After rhotic sounds, vowels tend to be syllabified separately
    # Example: "criar" [kɾi.ˈaɾ] - "ia" is hiatus
    # Exception: "rei" [ʁej], "treinador" [tɾej.nɐ.ˈdoʁ] - "ei" can be diphthong after 'r'

# MAIN SYLLABIFICATION FUNCTION
# =============================================================================

def syllabify(word: str) -> List[str]:
    """
    Divide a Portuguese word into syllables.

    ALGORITHM OVERVIEW:
    ===================
    This function uses a TWO-PASS approach:

    PASS 1: Rule-based scanning (character-by-character)
    -------
    - Scan through word left to right
    - Apply phonological rules to decide where syllable boundaries occur
    - Build syllables incrementally, adding characters until boundary detected

    PASS 2: Error correction (pattern matching)
    -------
    - Fix systematic errors from Pass 1
    - Apply hardcoded corrections for known problematic words
    - Handle edge cases that don't fit general rules

    LINGUISTIC PRINCIPLES USED:
    ===========================

    1. SONORITY SEQUENCING PRINCIPLE
    --------------------------------
    Syllables prefer a structure where sonority (loudness/openness) 
    rises to the nucleus (vowel) and falls afterward.

    Sonority hierarchy: stops < fricatives < nasals < liquids < glides < vowels

    Valid Portuguese onset: consonant(s) + vowel
    - Simple: "ta", "ma", "pa"
    - Complex: "tra", "pla", "bra" (obstruent + liquid)

    Invalid Portuguese onset: *liquid + obstruent
    - *"rta", *"lpa" - these violate sonority
    - Must split: "ar.ta", "al.pa"

    2. ONSET MAXIMIZATION PRINCIPLE
    --------------------------------
    When in doubt, consonants go with the FOLLOWING vowel, not the preceding one.

    Portuguese prefers CV (consonant-vowel) syllables over VC (vowel-consonant).

    Example: "falar" [fɐ.ˈlaɾ]
    - Could be: *"fal.ar" (CVC.VC)
    - Preferred: "fa.lar" (CV.CVC) - maximizes onset of second syllable

    3. COMPLEX ONSET VALIDITY
    --------------------------
    Only certain consonant clusters can start a syllable:
    - plosive/fricative + liquid: pr, br, tr, dr, kr, gr, fr, pl, bl, etc.

    Invalid clusters split across syllables:
    - "at.las", "rit.mo", "pac.to"

    4. NUCLEUS REQUIREMENT
    ----------------------
    Every syllable MUST have exactly one vowel as its nucleus.
    Diphthongs and triphthongs count as complex nuclei (multiple sounds, one syllable).

    ALGORITHM FLOW:
    ===============

    PREPROCESSING:
    - Convert to lowercase
    - Replace spaces with hyphens (for compound words)
    - Replace inseparable digraphs with placeholder tokens (ch→C, lh→L, etc.)

    MAIN LOOP (for each character):
    - Determine if character is vowel or consonant
    - Look ahead to next 1-2 characters
    - Check for diphthongs, triphthongs, consonant clusters
    - Decide: continue current syllable OR start new syllable
    - Apply decision rules based on pattern (C-C, C-V, V-V, V-C)

    DECISION RULES:

    Pattern         | Rule                                      | Example
    ----------------|-------------------------------------------|------------------
    C-C             | Split, unless valid onset cluster        | "at.las", but "a.bra"
    C-V             | Don't split (onset + nucleus)            | "ca.sa"
    V-V (diphthong) | Don't split (complex nucleus)            | "pai"
    V-V (hiatus)    | Split (separate syllables)               | "sa.í.da"
    V-C             | Context-dependent (see below)             | varies

    V-C Decision:
    - If C is word-final → don't split (keep coda with syllable)
    - If C-C follows → don't split (prepare for complex onset)
    - If C-V follows → split (let C be onset of next syllable)

    POSTPROCESSING:
    - Fix systematic errors with hardcoded corrections
    - Merge orphaned consonants with adjacent syllables
    - Fix specific problematic patterns (vr, vl, diphthong+nh, etc.)
    - Restore original digraphs (C→ch, L→lh, etc.)

    Args:
        word: Portuguese word to syllabify (can include hyphens for compounds)

    Returns:
        List of syllable strings

    Examples:
        >>> syllabify("casa")
        ['ca', 'sa']

        >>> syllabify("Brasil")
        ['bra', 'sil']

        >>> syllabify("português")
        ['por', 'tu', 'guês']

        >>> syllabify("extraordinário")
        ['ex', 'tra', 'or', 'di', 'ná', 'rio']

        >>> syllabify("história")
        ['his', 'tó', 'ria']  # hiatus: i.a are separate

    ACCURACY:
    =========
    Current performance on benchmark: 53,157 / 53,349 = 99.64% accuracy

    LIMITATIONS:
    ============
    - Some edge cases require dictionary lookup (hardcoded in bad_toks)
    - Diphthong vs. hiatus is sometimes ambiguous without morphological analysis
    - Foreign words may not follow Portuguese phonotactics
    - Rare learned/scientific words may have unusual syllabification

    Benchmark the syllabification algorithm against a gold-standard lexicon.

    This compares the algorithm's output against human-verified syllabifications
    from a comprehensive Portuguese dictionary.

    EVALUATION METRICS:
    -------------------
    - Total words: Number of words in test lexicon
    - Correct: Number of exact matches between predicted and gold syllabification
    - Accuracy: correct / total (percentage of perfect matches)

    CURRENT PERFORMANCE:
    --------------------
    53,154 correct out of 53,349 total words = 99.64% accuracy

    Less than 200 words are syllabified incorrectly - mostly:
    - Very rare words (technical, archaic, foreign)
    - Ambiguous cases where multiple syllabifications are acceptable
    - Edge cases in diphthong/hiatus distinction

    Most errors would require:
    - Dictionary lookup for irregular cases
    - Morphological analysis (prefix/suffix boundaries)
    - Statistical models trained on large corpora
