              Can you divide words into syllables?
              The sequoun (ﮦ) is the absence of a vowel. The
              sequoun appears as a small circle above the letter.
                
                  Rule 3: A consonant plus a short or long vowel plus
              a consonant carrying a sequoun equals a syllable.

              [consonant + short or long vowel + consonant with sequoun               = syllable].

The below are not real words but for the sole purpose of learning to read.

	Consonant + short or long vowel + consonant (with a sequoun) = syllable. Note: The consonants carrying the sequouns are shown below in brown.
	هاهْ 1  haah
	عاحْوَ  2  çaaḥ-wa
	ضِضْعَ  3  ḍiḍ-ça
	هوحْ  4  huuḥ
	ضيضْ  5  ḍiiḍ
	هِهْضَ  6  hih-ḍa

  Notice in the above examples the consonants that carry a sequoun are a part of the prior syllable and not the upcoming syllable.
