Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained unless they are complex and disrupt pronunciation. 'sas' and 'ses' demonstrate this.

Vowel Separation

Vowels are separated into different syllables unless they form a diphthong or are separated by a consonant. The 'u' and 'i' are separated by 't'.

  • The 'utilis' sequence could potentially be considered a hiatus, but the consonant 't' allows for clear syllabic division.
  • Liaison possibilities exist in connected speech, but do not affect the core syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might occur, but do not alter the syllable structure.
