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

Consonant Cluster Preservation

Consonant clusters are maintained unless they are exceptionally complex or involve a sonorant consonant. The 'nss' cluster is preserved.

Morphological Boundaries

Syllable division considers morphemic boundaries, but doesn't strictly adhere to them. The division reflects the morphological structure of the verb.

  • The '-nss-' consonant cluster is a potential edge case, but is permissible in French due to morphological processes.
  • The pronunciation of 'ction' as /ksjɔ̃/ is a common feature of French phonology.
