Avoid Consonant Clusters
French avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels, leading to divisions like *li-gi-eu* instead of *lig-ieu*.
Vowel Groups
Vowel groups generally remain within the same syllable (e.g., *eu*).
Final Syllable
The final syllable is often determined by the presence of a silent 'e' or a consonant cluster.
- The schwa sound /ə/ is common in unstressed syllables and can sometimes be elided in rapid speech, but still contributes to the syllabic structure.
