Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce. The 'sas' cluster is acceptable.

Final Syllable Stress

French typically stresses the final syllable of a phrase or breath group, influencing the perception of syllable boundaries.

  • The 'lis' sequence is a common liquid-sibilant cluster in French and doesn't require syllable separation.
  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ requires careful phonetic realization but doesn't affect syllabification.
  • The imperfect subjunctive conjugation adds complexity but doesn't alter the core syllabification principles.
