Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are complex and contain a sonorant consonant. This rule applies to 'st' and 'tion'.

The sequence 'tion' is usually treated as a single syllable in French, as it represents a common phonological unit.
- The pronunciation of 'u' before 'i' can vary, sometimes resulting in a glide. However, the syllabification remains consistent.
- Liaison and elision possibilities might affect the perceived boundaries between syllables in connected speech, but do not alter the orthographic syllable division.
