Vowel-Based Syllabification

French syllables are generally built around vowel sounds, with each vowel forming the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex or involve a 'r'.

Penultimate Stress

Words ending in a vowel or silent 'e' are typically stressed on the penultimate syllable.

  • The 'i' in 'hiéro' functions as part of the vowel cluster 'ié' and remains with the 'é'.
  • The 'r' sound is a key element in determining syllable boundaries, as French generally avoids syllables ending in 'r' unless it's part of a consonant cluster.
