Morpheme Boundary Rule
Syllable division respects morpheme boundaries whenever possible, but this is not always a strict rule.
- The 'rass' sequence could potentially be divided differently, but keeping it together is more consistent with French syllabification rules and avoids creating an unnatural syllable break.
