Vowel Rule
Syllable division occurs before each vowel sound.
Sonorant Consonant Rule
While French avoids breaking consonant clusters, sonorant consonants like 'r' can initiate a new syllable, especially before a vowel.
- The handling of the 'r' in the final syllable is a key consideration, as it functions as a syllable onset despite being part of a consonant cluster.
- Potential elision of the final 's' in informal speech, which does not affect syllable division.
