Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which forms the nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce.

Final Consonant Rule

A final consonant typically closes the syllable.

  • Potential elision of the final '-mes' in rapid speech, but this doesn't alter the syllabification. The pronunciation of the 'r' as a uvular fricative doesn't affect syllable boundaries in this case.
