After the first syllable each succeeding one _commences with aconsonant_, as a-for-tu-na-da-men-te (fortunately), except when aprefix 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 syllableand 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)
EXCEPTION--_bl, br, pl, pr, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr, gl, gr_ and _tr_ are notdivided, as--
A-blan-dar (to soften)Li-bro (book)A-pla-zar (to postpone)A-pre-ciar (to appreciate)De-cla-mar (to declaim)De-cre-tar (to decree)A-me-dren-tar (to frighten)Con-fla-gra-cion (conflagration)Re-fren-dar (to countersign)A-glo-me-rar (to agglomerate)A-gran-dar (to enlarge)En-con-trar (to meet)
If any of these combinations occur together with a third consonant, thisof course will belong to the previous syllable, as
Em-bro-llar (to entangle).
If four consonants come together, two belong to the first syllable andtwo to the next, as Obs-tru-ir (to obstruct).
_Ll_ and _Rr_, being treated as single letters, must not be divided,as--
Ba-lle-na (whale)Una ca-lle (a street)A-lla-nar (to level)Tie-rra (earth)
