by b (2)(a). Therefore, _creia_ would probably be a trisyllable. In
_cambiáos_ the i and á might form one syllable or two by b (2) (_d_), and the á and o would probably be in separate syllables by b (1) (a). Therefore, in _cambiáos_ the combination iáo might form a dissyllable or a trisyllable. In (iii) there will be a combination of two vowels before the accent, and one of two vowels with the second accented. In _rehuí_, for example, the e and u might be in the same syllable by a (1), or in separate syllables by dieresis by a (1) (a), and the u and í might be in separate syllables or not by b (3) (b). Therefore, _rehuí_ might be a monosyllable, a dissyllable, or a trisyllable. Other combinations of three vowels may be analyzed in a similar way, as may also combinations of more than three vowels, e.g. _creíais_, etc. B. SYNALEPHA Between the contiguous vowels of separate words there may occur synalepha (which corresponds to diphthongization within a word), or hiatus (which is similar to diaeresis within a word). Ex. _Abre^una^eternidad_, p. 178, XXXVI I, l. 22. _¿Á qué me lo decís? lo sé^:^es mudable_, p. 179, XXXIX, l. 1. [Synalepha.] Ex. _Como la onda^azul, en cuya cresta_, p. 173, XXVII, l. 16. [Hiatus.] |
