Stress typically falls on the final syllable, influencing the prominence of 'ces'.

Nasal Vowel Rule

The 'n' following a nasal vowel does not form a separate syllable. This applies to 'pan' and 'dan'.

  • The consonant cluster 'pd' is permissible in French and does not require syllable separation.
