Analysis of "tournaillerons" (French)

Detailed Syllable Analysis:

• tou: /tu/ - Open syllable. Rule: Initial consonant followed by a vowel. No exceptions.
• rna: /ʁna/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster followed by a vowel. Potential exception: The 'rn' cluster could be considered a complex onset, but it's commonly divided this way.

Exceptions and Special Cases:

• The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "rons" is a characteristic of French phonology and doesn't affect the syllabification process.

Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Attempting to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus forms the core of a syllable.
• Avoidance of Hiatus: Syllable boundaries are adjusted to avoid sequences of vowels without intervening consonants.
