The other signs of punctuation are used as in English.
Capital letters are used as in English with the following exceptions—
(1) Adjectives of nationality are written with small letters, as Un libro inglés (an English book).
(2) Days of the week generally (and sometimes the months of the year) are written with small letters.
DIVISION OF WORDS INTO SYLLABLES.
After the first syllable each succeeding one commences with a consonant, as a-for-tu-na-da-men-te (fortunately), except when a prefix occurs before a primitive word,[6] as Organizar (to organise).
[Footnote 6: A few minor exceptions will be learnt by practice.]
Des-or-ga-ni-zar (to disorganise).
When two consonants occur together one letter belongs to one syllable and the other to the next, as—
Ac-ci-den-te (accident) Pe-ren-ne (perennial) Tem-po-ral-men-te (temporarily) In-me-dia-to (immediate)
