Word Parts
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation (e.g., 'pt' is not broken).
Suffix Rule
Suffixes are generally separated into their own syllables, especially those that carry grammatical information (e.g., '-iez').
- The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in the first syllable is a common feature of French phonology and doesn't affect syllabification.
- The conditional ending '-iez' consistently forms a final syllable.
- The 'pt' cluster is permissible and not broken up.
