• fec: /fɛk/ - Closed syllable. The vowel /ɛ/ is followed by the consonant /k/. Rule: Closed syllables end in a consonant.
• tion: /sjɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ is preceded by the consonant cluster /sj/. Rule: Consonant clusters generally separate into syllables, with the vowel preceding the cluster forming a syllable.
