Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each syllable must contain a vowel or diphthong.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained as long as they are pronounceable as a unit within the French phonological system.

  • The 'pçon-' syllable is a slight edge case due to the consonant cluster, but it's a common pattern in French and the 'ç' softens the 'p' sound.
