Open Syllables

Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open (e.g., 'ci-', 'ma-').

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be easily separated by a vowel sound (e.g., 'to-', 'gra-').

Vowel Groups

Vowel groups are generally treated as a single syllable (e.g., 'iâ-').

Final Syllable

The final syllable is separated based on the preceding vowel or consonant.

  • The circumflex accent (â) indicates a historical 's' that has been elided, influencing pronunciation but not syllabification.
  • The 'ph' digraph is pronounced as /f/, a common French feature.
  • French stress is subtle and primarily on the final syllable, but not strongly marked.
