Vowel Rule

Syllables are generally divided around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are often broken up by vowels, but in this case, the 'tr' cluster remains intact due to the distinct vowel sound following it.

Prefix/Suffix Rule

Prefixes and suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables if they contain a vowel sound.

  • The 'trans-' prefix could potentially blend into the following syllable, but the distinct vowel sound justifies a separate syllable.
  • The '-asse' suffix is a relatively common causative/iterative suffix and follows standard syllabification rules.
