egularly trisyllabic.]
[Footnote 16: The _ea_ of _fealdad_ is normally disyllabic
by analogy with _feo_. Cf. (_f_) below.]
(_e_) Two strong vowels, if one is stressed, are usually
disyllabic:
_pa|se|a, re|cre|o, ca|no|a,_ etc.
A|rran|ca a|rran|ca|, Dios | mi|o,
De | la | men|te | del | p=o|e=|ta
Es|te | pen|sa|mien|to im|pi|o
Que en | un | de|li|rio | cr=e|o=.
(p. 83, ll. 7-10)
?Que | se hi|cie|ron | tus | mu|ros | to|rr=e|a=|dos,
Oh | mi | pa|tria | que|ri|da?
?Don|de | fue|ron | tus | he|roes | es|for|za|dos,
Tu es|pa|da | no | ven|ci|da?
(p. 78, ll. 1-4)
A|na|cr=e|o=n|te, el | vi|no y | la a|le|gri|a.
(p. 150, l. 4)
S=a|e=|ta | que | vo|la|do|ra...
(p. 121, l. 15)
De o|ro | la | n=a|o= | ga|di|ta|na a|por|ta.

Y | no | se es|me|re en | l=o|a=r|la.
(p. 43, l. 18)
Don|de a | c=a|e=r | vol|ve|ra.
(p. 121, l. 22)

Syneresis is rare, but may occur,--except in _ea_, _eo_
and _oa_,--provided the second vowel does not receive a
rhythmic accent:
Es|cri|ba|no al | c=ae=r | el | sol.
(p. 109, l. 3)
C=ae=n | es|ta|llan|do | de | los | fuer|tes | gon|ces.
(p. 57, l. 19)
Cual | na|ve | r=ea=l | en | triun|fo em|pa|ve|sa|da.
(p. 40, l. 15)
(_f_) In some words vowels that would normally form a
diphthong are usually disyllabic by analogy with other
forms derived from the same stem: _fi|e_, _fi|o_ (cf.
_fi|o_), _ri|o_, _ri|e|ron_ (cf. _ri|o_), _con|ti|nu|e_
(cf. _con|ti|nu|o_), _di|a|rio_ (cf. _di|a_), _bri|o|so_
(cf. _bri|o_), _hu|i_, _hu|i|mos_ (cf. _hu|yo_), etc.
Syneresis is rare, but possible, as in _brio|so_ for
_bri|o|so_.
(_g_) Prefixes, except _a_-, usually form separate
syllables: _pre|in|ser|to_, _re|im|pri|mir_, _re|hu|sar_;
but _aho|gar_. If the syllable after _a_-is stressed,
dieresis usually occurs:
A | los | que a|ho|ra a|cla|ma.
(p. 220, l. 3)
En | la | sub|li|me | so|le|dad | a|ho|ra...
(p. 188, l. 3)
(2) DIERESIS
By poetic license vowels that normally form one syllable
may often be dissolved into separate syllables (this is
called "dieresis") at the will of the poet: _glo|rio|so_
or _glo|ri|o|so_, _rui|do_ or _rue|i|do_, etc.[17] See also
(1), _d_, above.
