Vowel Sound Principle
Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically constitutes a syllable nucleus.
Avoid Consonant Clusters
French syllabification avoids leaving a syllable with only a consonant unless it's a very common and accepted pattern.
- The final 's' is silent and does not affect syllabification.
- The 't' in 'met-te' could potentially be considered part of the following syllable, but the vowel 'e' clearly initiates a new syllable.
