Avoid Consonant Clusters
Syllable division attempts to avoid breaking up consonant clusters where possible, but this is not always applicable, especially in prefixes.
- The 'anti-' prefix can sometimes behave as a clitic, but is fully integrated here.
- Liaison between 'sous' and 'marin' is crucial for pronunciation but not reflected in the written form.
