Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Consonant Cluster Handling

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

Prefix/Suffix Integrity

Prefixes and suffixes are treated as separate syllables if they contain vowel sounds.

Final Syllable Stress

French typically stresses the final syllable of a word.

  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ does not pose a specific syllabification challenge.
  • The 'nu' sequence is common in French and doesn't require special treatment.
  • The word is exclusively a verb form, so syllabification doesn't shift based on grammatical function.
