Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:
- an /an/: Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. No consonant clusters prevent division.
- si /siː/: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel pattern.
- en /en/: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel pattern.
- ni /nɪ/: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel pattern.
- te /tɛ/: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel pattern.
- ts /ts/: Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster 'ts' acts as the syllable onset.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of splitting words into syllables and inserting hyphens between them to facilitate the reading of a text. It is also used to divide words when the word cannot fit on a line.
This technique is particularly helpful in fully justified texts, where it aids in creating a uniform edge along both sides of a paragraph. Hyphenation rules vary among languages and even among different publications within the same language. It's a critical component in typesetting, significantly influencing the aesthetics and readability of printed and digital media. For instance, in compound adjectives like 'long-term solution', hyphens clarify relationships between words, preventing misinterpretation. Moreover, hyphenation can alter meanings: 'recreation' differs from 're-creation'.
With the advent of digital text, hyphenation algorithms have become more sophisticated, though still imperfect, sometimes requiring manual adjustment to ensure accuracy and coherence in text layout. Understanding and correctly applying hyphenation rules is therefore not only a matter of linguistic accuracy but also a key aspect of effective visual communication.
