Vowel-Consonant Syllabification
Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, with consonants following the vowel belonging to the same syllable.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are not broken unless they are easily pronounceable as separate syllables (which is not the case with 'pp' or 'gr').
- The 'pp' cluster is treated as a single unit. The uvular 'r' sound is a characteristic of French pronunciation but doesn't affect syllabification. Liaison possibilities exist but don't alter the syllable division.
