  3. Syllables are single speech parts made up of one vowel sound with or without more closely combined consonant sounds.

  5. Every time you speak a syllable, your speech has a single beat- one clap.

  6. Every syllable has one and only one vowel sound.

  15. Unless the consonants form a blend in which case they are not divided (v cc/v) Example- without

  16. Two identical consonants are divided when they occur between vowels. Example- rabbit
