Do you mean that these words are syllabified as peun-ag, swek-as and dek-am? If so, that's rather odd. Intervocalic consonants are almost always syllabified with the following vowel. English is unusual in that (at least some dialects) will syllabify IV consonants with the preceding vowel is stressed.
