SYLLABLES
Every vowel[1] with the consonant or consonants pronounced with it and every vowel pronounced alone form one syllable, and are written as such. This is the rule applied to the division of a word at the end of a line. Examples:
| ca-ru-ca-yá-can | (conversation) |
| bác-dao | (stand) |
| a-ha-cá | (hemp), etc. |
[1] Except o and u when used as consonants, their function then being properly that of a w. [↑]
