Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and disrupt the flow of pronunciation. The 'sb' cluster in 'sub' is an example.
Suffix Rule
Suffixes are typically separated into their own syllables, especially when they are clearly identifiable and contribute to the grammatical function of the word.
- The 'gu' cluster is pronounced as /ɡɥ/ and treated as a single consonant sound.
- The final '-ez' ending is a typical conditional suffix and doesn't present any unusual syllabification challenges.
- French syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant at the end of a syllable unless it's part of a complex cluster.
