Open Syllable Principle

Syllables generally end with a vowel sound.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are broken only when they are complex or involve a sonorant consonant.

Liaison Rule

Liaison occurs between words or morphemes when the first ends in a silent consonant and the second begins with a vowel.

Stress Rule

Stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable in longer words.

  • The liaison between 'dé-' and 'hydro-' is a common phonetic feature but doesn't affect the underlying syllabification.
  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in the final syllable requires specific articulation and is a characteristic of French phonology.
  • The word's length and complexity necessitate careful application of syllabification rules.
