Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each syllable contains one vowel nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable if they follow a vowel.

  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in the final syllable requires careful consideration but doesn't alter the syllabification process.
  • The silent 's' at the end of the word does not affect syllable division.
