To utter in syllables

Aery tongues that syllable men's names — Milton.

The written representation of a given pronounced syllable
A unit of human speech that is interpreted by the listener as a single sound, although syllables usually consist of one or more vowel sounds, either alone or combined with the sound of one or more consonants; a word consists of one or more syllables
that which is uttered in a single vocal impulse
{n} one articulation in word, tittle, jot
{v} to utter distinctly, articulate
Any of the units into which a word may be divided, usually consisting of a vowel sound with a consonant before or after Arithmetic is a word of four syllables
A unit of pronunciation uttered without interruption, forming the whole or part of a word, and usually having one vowel or diphthong sound optionally surrounded by one or more consonants Example: there are two syllables in "water" and three in "inferno"
One of the liquids, l, m, n, may fill the place of a vowel in a syllable
a unit of spoken language that is next bigger than a speech sound It consists of one or more vowel sounds alone or of a syllabic consonant alone or of either with one or more consonant sounds preceding or following It should not be confused with a syllabus, which always precedes the course
  A character string or a bit string in a word
It may or may not correspond to a syllable in the spoken language
A small part of a sentence or discourse; anything concise or short; a particle
A sound sequence consisting of a consonant plus vowel
(1) An element of a syllabary (2) A basic unit of articulation that corresponds to a pulmonary pulse
a vowel preceded by from zero to three consonants ("awl" "strand"), and followed by from zero to four consonants ("too" "sixths")
a minimal unit of sequential speech sounds made up of a vowel sound or a vowel consonant combination and always contains a vowel sound
In other terms, it is a vowel or a diphtong, either by itself or flanked by one or more consonants, the whole produced by a single impulse or utterance
a unit of spoken language larger than a phoneme; "the word `pocket' has two syllables"
A syllable is a word part that contains a vowel or, in spoken language, a vowel sound (e-vent, news-pa-per)
a word or part of a word that has only one vowel sound
An elementary sound, or a combination of elementary sounds, uttered together, or with a single effort or impulse of the voice, and constituting a word or a part of a word
To pronounce the syllables of; to utter; to articulate
A word or part of a word representing a sound produced as a unit by a single impulse of the voice, consisting of either a vowel sound alone as in oh or a vowel with attendant consonants, as in throne Sidelight: In modern English, word syllables are characterized as either accented or unaccented; in non-accentual languages such as classical Greek and Latin, syllables are classified as either long or short, depending on the the quantity of time it takes to pronounce them due to varying vowel lengths and consonant groupings Thus, the distinction between accented and long syllables on the one hand, and unaccented and short syllables on the other, represents the difference between accentual verse and quantitive verse The basis for syllabic verse is the count of syllables in a line
{i} segment of speech uttered with a single impulse of air; smallest amount of speech or writing
In writing and printing, a part of a word, separated from the rest, and capable of being pronounced by a single impulse of the voice
A unit of measure for words A single syllable may have many sounds
a unit of spoken language larger than a phoneme; "the word `pocket' has two syllables
a unit of human speech that is interpreted by the listener as a single sound, although syllables usually consist of one or more vowel sounds, either alone or combined with the sound of one or more consonants. A word consists of one or more syllables
See Guide to Pronunciation, §275
A syllable is a part of a word that contains a single vowel sound and that is pronounced as a unit. So, for example, `book' has one syllable, and `reading' has two syllables. We children called her Oma, accenting both syllables. a word or part of a word which contains a single vowel sound in words of one syllable word (18) (sillabe, from , from syllabe, from syllambanein , from syn- ( SYN-) + lambanein ). Segment of speech usually consisting of a vowel with or without accompanying consonant sounds (e.g., a, I, out, too, cap, snap, check). A syllabic consonant, like the final n sound in button and widen, also constitutes a syllable. Closed (checked) syllables end in a consonant, open (free) syllables in a vowel. Syllables play an important role in the study of speech and in phonetics and phonology
Adjoining syllables in a word or phrase need not to be marked off by a pause, but only by such an abatement and renewal, or reënforcement, of the stress as to give the feeling of separate impulses
