Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are typically divided after vowels. This applies to 'con', 'tre', 'man', and 'de'.

Consonant Cluster Division

Consonant clusters are maintained unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant. 'tr' is a permissible initial cluster.

Suffix Division

Suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables, especially when they contain multiple morphemes like '-eriez'.

  • Nasal vowels do not affect syllable division.
  • The 'tr' consonant cluster is common and doesn't require special handling.
  • The schwa /ə/ can be reduced or elided in some regional pronunciations, but this doesn't change the underlying syllabification.
