Syllables beginning with a vowel are considered open.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters within a syllable are maintained as a unit.

Single Consonant Rule

A single consonant between two vowels forms a separate syllable.

  • The clitic pronoun 'lhes' is treated as a single syllable unit.
  • The final 's' in 'ás' is pronounced as /ʃ/ due to palatalization, but this doesn't affect syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel reduction may occur, but do not alter the syllable division.
