Footnote 15:[ (return) ] Note that here poetic usage differs from the rules for syllabication that obtain in prose. Thus, in empíreo the í receives the accent mark, since it is held to be in the antepenultimate syllable, but in verse empíreo is regularly trisyllabic.
Footnote 16:[ (return) ] The ea of fealdad is normally disyllabic by analogy with feo. Cf. (f) below.
(e) Two strong vowels, if one is stressed, are usually disyllabic:
pa|se|a, re|cre|o, ca|no|a, etc.
A|rran|ca a|rran|ca|, Dios | mí|o,
De | la | men|te | del | po|e|ta
Es|te | pen|sa|mien|to im|pí|o
Que en | un | de|li|rio | cre|ó.
