Open Syllables

French favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). This is applied throughout the word, creating syllables like 'hé', 'té', 'ro', and 'mor'.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they can be easily separated by a vowel sound. The 'ph' cluster in 'phis' is maintained.

Final Syllable Stress

Stress typically falls on the final syllable, influencing the prominence of '-mes'.

  • The silent 'h' does not affect syllabification.
  • The nasal vowel in '-mes' requires careful phonetic transcription.
  • The word is exclusively a noun, so syllabification doesn't shift based on grammatical function.
