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, as Organizar (to organise).

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

EXCEPTION: bl, br, pl, pr, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr, gl, gr and tr are not
divided, 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-tarto decree
A-me-dren-tar to frighten
Con-fla-gra-ción 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, this
of course will belong to the previous syllable, as:

Em-bro-llar to entangle

If four consonants come together, two belong to the first syllable and
two 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
