Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open or closed syllables.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless a vowel naturally separates them.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left alone between vowels, ensuring each syllable has a vowel sound.

  • The initial 'mé-' is a prefix and is clearly separated.
  • The final '-gies' is a plural marker and is also clearly separated.
  • The pronunciation of the final 's' is silent, but it still influences the syllabification.
