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 easily separable by a vowel sound. In 'tourbillonnassions', the 'ss' cluster remains intact.

Final Syllable Rule

The final syllable often includes any remaining consonants. This is evident in the syllable 'sions'.

  • The pronunciation of the 'r' sound can vary regionally (uvular fricative /ʁ/ is standard).
  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ influences syllabification, requiring the preceding consonant to be part of the same syllable.
  • The word is exclusively a verb form, so syllabification doesn't shift based on grammatical function.
