Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are kept together within a syllable unless they are complex and contain a sonorant consonant. In this case, 'str' and 'ps' are treated as single units.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
French avoids creating syllables consisting of a single consonant. This rule influences the grouping of consonants with adjacent vowels.
- The consonant cluster '-str-' is treated as a single unit within a syllable, a common practice in French.
- The double 's' in 'sas' is part of the verb ending and is pronounced, influencing the syllable division.
