Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the beginning of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster. This is seen in 'ter-mi'.

Suffix Syllabification

Common suffixes like '-tions' typically form a single syllable.

  • The uvular 'r' sound is a characteristic of French pronunciation but doesn't significantly affect syllabification.
  • Liaison possibilities do not alter the underlying syllabic structure.
