I ran across the word "kirlovaĵo", and started thinking about how to break it down into syllables. The rule of thumb* I learned tells me to break it down into kir-lo-VA-ĵo. But thought maybe it might be kirl-o-VA-ĵo.

I realize that the distinction is very small, but wondered if the typical rules of syllabic dissection still applied, or if Esperanto might put an emphasis on pronouncing roots separately.

*The rule of thumb I learned was syllables start with a consonant sound, followed by a vowel sound. You always try to end a syllable with a consonant sound, without robbing the next syllable of starting with one.

Here is a summary of Bavant's rules of syllabification (taken from this very long article):
  • A syllable contains exactly one vowel or diphthong.
  • If two vowels appear next to each other, they belong to different syllables.
  • If two vowels are separated by one consonant, the consonant is the onset of the second syllable.
  • If two vowels are separated by two consonants, the split is in the middle, unless the pair of consonants is in the following list: pr, tr, kr, br, dr, gr, fr, vr, pl, tl, kl, bl, dl, gl, fl, vl, kv, gv, ks, kz, dz, ps; in which case the pair is the onset of the second syllable.
  • If two vowels are separated by three or more consonants, then the first consonant belongs to the first syllable, the last consonant belongs to the second syllable, and the split in between is generally at the moment when exhalation is at a minimum.
So, kir-lo-va-ĵo is the correct version. The boundaries of the components are not used.

However, hyphenation is a different matter. If you are interested in that, take a look at Pokrovskij's article.
