Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are kept together within a syllable unless a vowel sound naturally separates them.

Final Syllable Stress

French generally stresses the final syllable of a word or phrase.

‘r’ as Syllable Nucleus

The ‘r’ sound can often form a syllable nucleus, especially in consonant clusters.

  • The 'é' sound in '-raient' is a closed mid vowel, influencing pronunciation and stress.
  • The 'm' and 't' sounds are pronounced as part of the syllable, contributing to the overall rhythm.
  • The consonant cluster '-str-' is treated as a single unit within a syllable.
