Certain consonant clusters (like 'gr') are treated as single onsets.

Nasal Vowel Rule

Nasal vowels create their own syllables.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a consonant cluster.

  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ requires careful consideration.
  • The conditional ending '-rais' is a single morpheme.
  • Liaison possibilities can affect pronunciation but don't change the underlying syllabification.
