Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or interrupt a natural vowel sequence.

Nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɛ̃/, /ɑ̃/, /œ̃/) typically form their own syllable.

  • The circumflex accent on 'u' doesn't directly affect syllabification but indicates a historical sound change.
