Vowel-initial Syllable

Syllables typically begin with a vowel sound. 'dé', 'bu', 'les' follow this rule.

Consonant Following Vowel

A consonant following a vowel usually forms a separate syllable if it's not part of a permissible cluster. 'zɑ̃' and 'tɛj' follow this rule.

Consonant Cluster Preservation

French avoids breaking consonant clusters unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce. 'mb' in 'embouteil-' is preserved.

  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ does not affect syllable division.
  • The 'mb' consonant cluster is not broken, adhering to French phonotactic constraints.
  • The word is exclusively a verb form, so syllabification doesn't shift based on grammatical function.
