10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open (e.g., "ca-").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation (e.g., "graph-").
• Rule 3: Vowel Hiatus: Vowel hiatuses are generally resolved by grouping the vowels into a single syllable (e.g., "i-ons" is often pronounced as a single unit).
• Rule 4: Stress and Syllabification: Stress can influence how syllables are perceived, but doesn't directly alter the written syllable division.

11. Special Considerations:

The linking vowel "i" is a common feature in French verb conjugations and requires careful consideration during syllabification. The silent "s" at the end of the word does not affect the syllable division.
