Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the beginning of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster. This rule ensures that consonants are associated with a vowel sound.

Final Consonant Rule

Final consonants are generally part of the last syllable, unless they initiate a new vowel sound.

  • The schwa /ə/ in the final syllable can be reduced or elided in rapid speech.
  • Liaison between 'dépress' and 'ives' is possible but not obligatory.
  • The initial 'imm-' cluster requires careful consideration to avoid stranded consonants.
