I think people here are missing what you're saying because it is subtle. Which is correct. That "troy" is different from "tor•y". "y" should be the suffix. Just like how "fix•ed" would be different from "fi•xed". "y" is the suffix like "itch" vs "itchy".
What this means, building off of what the evidence I gave, is that this model is not learning the morphemes (smallest root meaning). This exact characteristic is part of why these words sound weird. It is the same problem as the one brought up by tasogare.
You are on to something there. For the syllables I'm actually using a rule-based model from Python's "pyhphen" library: https://pypi.org/project/PyHyphen/
I am not totally happy with the results but have not had a chance to train my own
