Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open or closed syllables.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound.

Prefix/Suffix Rule

Prefixes and suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables if they contain a vowel sound.

  • The nasal vowels (/ɑ̃/, /ɛ̃/) influence syllabification, creating distinct nasal syllables.
  • The 'en' within the root doesn't form a separate syllable but is integrated into the 'envergu-' root.
  • The final 't' is generally silent in pronunciation, but remains in the orthographic representation and syllabification.
