u precedes it, or i follows it.
Ex. _Fuí diestro, fuí valiente, fuí arrogante_. Cervantes. When u is the middle vowel there may be synalepha if i follows it. The construction is very rare. There is no synalepha with a word beginning with hue. Ex. _Mucho nuestro huesped tarda_. Tirso de Molina. In the following cases the groups of vowels which would usually make triphthongal synalepha are pronounced in two syllables: (1) When the first word of the group ends in two vowels which do not form a diphthong. Ex. _Que aún tení|a^abiertos_, p. 187, LXXIII, l. 2. (2) When the two initial vowels of the second word do not form a diphthong. Ex. _Tú, sombra^a|érea que, cuantas veces_, p. 170, XV, l. 7. (3) When the first word ends in a diphthong and the second begins with a vowel in a constituent syllable (i.e. a syllable on which the rhythmical accent falls). Ex. _Tan gran designio honra tus audacias._ |
