Maximize Onsets
Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei, and consonants are assigned to the onset of the following syllable whenever possible.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a final consonant cluster.
- The 'gr' cluster is a common initial consonant cluster in French and doesn't pose a syllabification issue.
- Nasal vowels /ɛ̃/ and /ɔ̃/ are typical of French and don't affect syllable division rules.
- Liaison between 'las' and 'sions' is common in careful speech but doesn't alter the underlying syllabification.
