Hyphenation of permutation

How to hyphenate permutation

permutation is a polysyllabic word with 4 syllables. Using the Knuth-Liang algorithm, we calculated the precise hyphenation for the word you've entered. This method guarantees that your text is hyphenated correctly and conforms to established linguistic norms. permutation is hyphenated as:

per-mu-ta-tion

Syllables Count: 4
Characters Count: 11
Alpha-numeric Characters Count: 11
Hyphens Count: 3

Haphenation done based on the Knuth-Liang word-division algorithm. The computed hyphenation pattern is: per3m4u3ta1t2ion

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the use of hyphens to join words or parts of words. It plays a crucial role in writing, ensuring clarity and readability.

In compound terms like 'check-in', the hyphen clarifies relationships between words. It also assists in breaking words at line ends, preserving flow and understanding, such as in 'tele-communication'. Hyphenation rules vary; some words lose their hyphens with common usage (e.g., 'email' from 'e-mail'). It's an evolving aspect of language, with guidelines differing across style manuals. Understanding hyphenation improves writing quality, making it an indispensable tool in effective communication.
