Vowel-based Syllabification

Each vowel sound generally forms a syllable. This is the primary rule applied throughout the word.

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce. The 'tr' and 'nt' clusters are maintained.

  • The 'quin' sequence is not a typical syllable structure but is justified by the distinct vowel sound.
  • The nasal vowels /ɑ̃/ require consideration of nasalization rules.
  • The word's inflectional nature doesn't alter the core syllabification principles.
