Vowel-Centric Syllabification

Syllables are primarily formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound generally constitutes a syllable.

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained as single units within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce together.

Suffix Boundaries

Suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables, particularly when they contain vowel sounds.

  • The 'fr' consonant cluster is common in French and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
  • The conditional ending '-aient' is a stable unit and is consistently treated as a single syllable.
  • Liaison possibilities do not affect the internal syllable structure of the word.
