Vowel Rule

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable. Syllables are divided around vowel sounds.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are difficult to pronounce consecutively. In this case, 'tr' is kept together.

Avoidance of Isolated Consonants

French avoids leaving a single consonant as the onset of a syllable if possible. This influences the division between 'li' and 'sa'.

  • The 'lis' sequence could theoretically be divided differently, but the flow of the word and vowel harmony favor the current division.
  • The secondary stress on '-bi-' is subtle and may not be pronounced in all contexts.
