Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are generally divided between vowels and consonants.

Consonant Cluster Division

Consonant clusters are often maintained within a syllable, especially geminate consonants.

Hiatus Resolution

Hiatuses (vowel-vowel sequences) are generally treated as separate syllables.

  • The geminate 'ss' influences syllable weight but doesn't alter the division.
  • The 'i' before 'to' creates a hiatus, which is common in Italian and doesn't affect syllable boundaries.
