Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are assigned to syllables to avoid leaving them without a vowel.

Vowel-Following Consonant

Consonants following vowels are generally assigned to the same syllable.

  • Geminate consonants ('ll' in 'spelle') affect syllable weight but not division.
  • Regional variations in vowel quality do not alter syllable division.
