Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound.

Final 'ent' Rule

The '-ent' ending typically forms a separate syllable due to its grammatical function.

Prefix/Suffix Boundaries

Clear boundaries are established between prefixes and the root, and between the root and suffixes.

  • The 'ss' cluster is treated as a single consonant sound within a syllable.
  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in the final syllable is a typical French feature and influences the syllable's phonetic realization.
