The syllable structure is consistent across these words, with the initial sauve- syllable remaining unchanged. The differences lie in the suffixes, which dictate the tense and person/number.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open (e.g., sau-).
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are maintained unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant (e.g., gard-).
