Consonant Cluster Preservation

Avoid Single Consonant Endings
French generally avoids ending a syllable with a single consonant, leading to the division 'se-rent' rather than 'ser-ent'.
- The 'rs' cluster in 'uniformisèrent' does not cause syllable separation, as it's a common feature in French.
- The final '-ent' can be elided in rapid speech, but this doesn't change the underlying syllable structure.
- The passé simple tense often shifts stress to the penultimate syllable.
