Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically constitutes a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Consonant clusters at the beginning of words or syllables are maintained as a unit, as long as they form a recognizable phonological unit.

Geminate Consonant Handling

Geminate consonants (double consonants) are allowed within a syllable and do not necessarily trigger a syllable break.

  • The schwa /ə/ in 'se' is a common feature of French and doesn't affect syllabification.
  • The geminate 'ss' in 'sis' does not create a syllable break.
