Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are difficult to pronounce together. In this case, 'pr' remains intact.

The final syllable often includes any remaining consonants. This is evident in '-ent'.

  • The pronunciation of the 'r' sound can vary regionally, but doesn't alter the syllable division.
  • Liaison is possible in connected speech but doesn't affect the underlying syllabification.
