Latin syllabifier gives wrong results for clusters of three consonants

See original GitHub issue

The Latin syllabifier (in version 0.1.121) sometimes gives incorrect results for words with long consonant clusters. It doesn’t seem to detect correctly which clusters are allowed in onsets and which aren’t:

>>> s.syllabify('pulchra')
['pulch', 'ra']
>>> s.syllabify('sumptus')
['sum', 'ptus']

The correct syllabifications, as far as I can tell, would be pul-chra and sump-tus (since stop+liquid is a valid onset and stop+stop is not).
