Vowel Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically constitutes a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and disrupt pronunciation. In this word, 'sjon' is treated as a single unit.

Hyphen Rule

Hyphens do not dictate syllable breaks; vowel sounds remain the primary factor. The hyphen merely indicates a compound structure.

  • The hyphenated structure requires careful consideration, but vowel sounds ultimately determine syllable breaks.
  • Liaison between 'profession' and 'nelles' is possible in connected speech, but does not alter the underlying syllabification.
