Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are generally divided after vowels. Each vowel sound 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 that can be pronounced as a unit.

Suffix Division

Suffixes are often divided into separate syllables, especially when they contain multiple vowels.

  • The consonant cluster '-abil-' is a common point of syllabification, and the division here follows standard practice.
  • The final '-ent' ending is a standard inflectional suffix and is consistently syllabified.
