Syllable \Syl"la*ble\, n. [OE. sillable, OF. sillabe, F.
syllabe, L. syllaba, Gr. ? that which is held together,
several letters taken together so as to form one sound, a
syllable, fr. ? to take together; ? with + ? to take; cf.
Skr. labh, rabh. Cf. Lemma, Dilemma.]
1. 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. 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. One of
the liquids, l, m, n, may fill the place of a vowel in a
syllable. 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 reenforcement, of the stress as to give
the feeling of separate impulses. See Guide to
Pronunciation, [sect]275.
[1913 Webster]
2. In writing and printing, a part of a word, separated from
