_read-able_
_convert-ible_
_inten-tion_
_discuss-ion_
The termination _-sion_ ordinarily goes over as in
_occa-sion_
_apprehen-sion_
_cis-sion_
_declen-sion_
Occasionally, however, the strong emphasis needed for the _s_ will
call for a different arrangement, as in _divis-ion_.
IX The terminations _-ing_, _-en_, _-ed_, _-er_, _-est_, and the plural
_-es_ go over to the next line except when the preceding consonant is
doubled, or when they follow _c_ or _g_ soft.
_lead-ing_
_beat-en_
_larg-er_, but
_lat-ter_
_for-cing_
_ran-ging_
X Do not end a line with _j_ or with _c_ or _g_ soft.
_pro-cess_
_ne-cessary_
_pre-judice_
_prog-eny_
XI Adjectives in _ical_ divide on the _i_.
_physi-cal_
_inimi-cal_
XII In derivatives of words ending in _-t_, the division follows the
accent.
_objec-tion_, not _object-ion_, _defec-tion_, not _defect-ion_, but
_respec-tively_, not _respect-ively_ and _distinc-tion_, not
_distinct-ion_.
XIII Never separate _c_ and _g_ from the vowels _e_, _i_, and _y_ upon
which their soft sound depends.
_re-li-gion_
_ca-pa-ci-ty_
XIV Never separate _q_ from _u_, _qu_ is a single sound.
XV Do not divide _nothing_.
XVI Do not divide words of four letters.
XVII Do not divide words of five or six letters if it can be avoided. Good
spacing, however, must be considered of first importance.
XVIII In wide measures (20 ems or more) do not divide so as to end or begin
a line with a syllable of two letters.
