Word Parts
Vowel-C Rule
Syllables generally end with a vowel sound. If a vowel is followed by a consonant, a syllable break occurs before the consonant.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable, unless they are easily separable based on pronunciation.
Diphthong Rule
Diphthongs (two vowel sounds within one syllable) are treated as a single vowel unit.
- The length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes contribute to the complexity of its syllabification.
- The vowel sequence 'ea' is a diphthong and is treated as a single unit.
